Comment Napster... A few complaints (Score 2) 243
First off, there are many insecurities in napster. The port is opened when the program starts, and it stays open. Anyone with the correct knowledge can access your computer. I have seen it done. Second, in reply to an early comment about Napster being responsible for much of a Universities traffic... VERY TRUE, I know here (unnamed college) that Napster was specifically responsible for 60% of the traffic on the network in the first semester. The University got smart and is actually cutting Network throughput completely to anyone who trasfers data across Napster. It is very easy for them to track since Napster leaves its port open. I have had several friends lose there entire connection because of this, to get it back they have to write an essay! What a crock. PS Keep your eyes open for a program that will rock Napsters world. www.absolutepc.net
