Human social structure is limited to about ten to twenty people. In such groups people attempt to bring out their best qualities since they cannot feign or mask ineptitude behind a sea of others. Once you start passing those numbers, many people will effectively "cruise" on the waves of society with the minimum effort.

It's kind of funny, how sites like fileserve and filesonic are making their sites personal storage sites now. They might as well just shut the sites down, because no one will use them anymore. Especially if they just randomly went and disabled accounts so people can't even get at what they uploaded.

Torrents are nigh impossible to eliminate due to their decentralized nature. Torrents don't even need to rely on single trackers anymore. And bittorrent websites require almost no resources to run, compared to something like megaupload.

My scrappy little Eee can pull an average of 3~4 MB/s (upload and download combined) on our network at work/school and can finish most files with a good seed in a minute or less. The only real delay is the peer search to find the best seeders which can take anywhere from ten seconds to a minute depending on the torrent and the seeders. And note that this is on an Eee for which the torrent software devours the already paltry processing power of the little guy. If I use a real computer with some bite to its bark, I can max out the connection to 10 MB/s. ...But, I use Usenet. So all my downloads take like 30 seconds at 10 MB/s anyway. Who uses torrents? Just for some numbers: 250 MB file at 4 MB/s = 62 seconds. 250 MB file at 10 MB/s = 25 seconds. 2 GB file at 4 MB/s = 8.3 minutes. 2 GB file at 10 MB/s = 3.3 minutes.
