the business of bandwidth capping has come a long way since it managers first freaked out at napster's potential of consuming every last institutional bit. dire warnings of endless bandwidth usage and skyrocketing costs have led to more effective approaches now that vendors have gotten sophisticated in designing targeted products. these days port restrictions are no longer required and that's good, but it's also bad because the brainy new software recognizes unauthorized file sharing and cuts off your bandwidth to that specific file accordingly. now students are trading stories of brutally effective bandwidth capping – like people buying itunes in mere seconds - while waiting 3 days for kazaa song downloads to complete.
