Submission + - USA Govement seeks extradiotn of UK student for fi

Gimble writes: The BBC reports that UK Richard O'Dwyer will learn of his fate today after the US Government requested his extradition to face charges of running a file sharing site.

O'Dwyer operated the site "TV-Shack" which didn't offer any files itself, but posted links to streams and files hosted elsewhere for 3 years from 2007 until 2010. O'Dwyer was first arrested in June last year by British police acting on information from US Immigration and Customs Enforcement. The domestic investigation was subsequently dropped, but Mr O’Dwyer was re-arrested in May on an extradition warrant to face charges in America.

Submission + - Bittorrent to cause Internet meltdown (theregister.co.uk)

Gimble writes: Richard Bennett (blog here), has an article at the Register claiming that a recent uTorrent decision to use UDP for file transfers to avoid ISP "traffic management" restrictions will cause a meltdown of the internet reducing everybody's bandwidth to a quarter of their current value.

Other folks have also expressed concern that this may not be the best thing for the internet.

Absolute tosh. I have no idea what GUI you use, but I've never seen such an issue with TortoiseSVN or the command line tools, and we regularly commit hundreds of files at a time.

I suspect that something is up with your svn server. We use svnserve and have never had issues like that.
