Re: Potential problem with Bitttorrent DHT

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



Note that, historically, suse has prohibited 'real' p2p in their

is per se illegal even though this isn't true in the US, much less
elsewhere.) I assume (but have no specific information) that this is
just a variant of that.
