IIRC LimeWire used gnutella for communications and downloaded over HTTP.


Now, I think it is fair to say bittorrent as a protocol has specific advantages over gnutella.



Let's be fair.

Overly restrictive filters are stupid.
But it is possible to limit a filter to only blocking known unarguably bad sites.
porn, pedophilia come to mind.

It certainly doesn't HURT.


You can understand where parents might be coming from.
I can understand filtering out the WTF and makes sense. Kids or no kids on that one.
Now to be fair, the kids I was referring to would be from about age 2 to about 9.
Two reasons, one they might accidentally click something and mess up a computer.
The other, that nice bright shiny buy or download button. Last time I looked and mind you it has been about 7 years but Nickelodeon and Nick Jr. had a ton of those bright buttons.

Hopefully by age 9, the children have learned some computer skills.
