Many Hungarian hubs goin down. Russia has had a few scapegoats recently in regards to the legality of it all. Some random poor high school teacher in a remote town was put in jail for having an illegal copy of XP installed on some school computers. Ridiculous considering I know a number of people personally who have also, and it's very easy to find a cracked copy here. It's really terrible, but the government have said they are cracking down on illegal software, and so they wanted to show they were doing someting about it. Although, I guess all of this is a completely different kettle of fish I do not wish to smell, let alone open... :-) I'm sure you appreciate how I both opened and closed that paragrah with idioms... I'm an English teacher now, it's what I do! :-P In regards to speeds, I don't get to connect to the net at that speed, but I do have a pretty good selection of speeds. The lowest is about 2.5Mbps up till 10mbps. I pay about $25 per month for 5mbps :-D Yeah, it’s still really popular up this neck of the woods. Many Hungarian hubs goin down.

Actually I remember connecting to some Ukranian and Hungarian DC++ networks back in the day. Eastern Europe seemed to be a hotbed for P2P sharing. As usual Australia seems to be far behind much of the world in broadband speeds. Cool. Actually I remember connecting to some Ukranian and Hungarian DC++ networks back in the day.
