want nothing to do with bit torrent or anything like that.
If I cant disable it completely and download from EVE servers, well this is where we are gonna part ways after all these years. |

If I cant disable it completely and download from EVE servers, well this is where we are gonna part ways after all these years. From common experienes : There has almost everytime been an option in the download option section to turn off p2p sharing to get the orginal content from the distrubitors servers only, but as stated above p2p sharing is the future to optmize youre download speeds to quicker be able to take part of major (big) updates quicker than to download the patch from one single strained server (CCP) ( CCP might have more servers to distribute the patch but i hope you see my point)
Already have farely fast speeds. Can D/L eve in about 30 mins if necessary. I have yet to have a problem downloading eve that lasted more than a few hours, and that was when eve was down so i fail to see how p2p is gonna help.
I have no problems if its better for others or whatever. But I want no part of p2p. Reading thru some of the read, apparently you can snatch peoples ips via bittorent. So that should be reason enough to not do it. |

Sure
1) Security. IP being able to be known by others, fake files, viruses, etc. Sorry i know about cheksums and all that but Im just not convinced its safe if it comes off someone besides an official eve server.
2) False flagging of ISP for torrents
3) No problems the way it is currently.
4) Throttling of my connection when P2P is detected
5) Being somewhere with P2P is not available (port blocked, univeristies, etc) making it worthless. |

Not an issue at all. Generally speaking, without the other side knowing your IP, the Net would be a boring place...
I think you misunderstand. As stated a few posts above someone could find out your ip thru P2P and then flood you rendering your connection basically useless. Maybe that is extreme, but it is certainly an issue. |

Maybe that is extreme, but it is certainly an issue. anyone can flood any IP at their wishes. Why would they target you when there are tens of thousand IP downloading at the same time?
To gain an advantage in eve? Still doesnt adress the other points. |

Using the ingame browser visiting trusted websites is much more dangerous in this context. The website owner, or whoever is permitted to read access logs, is able to make a direct relationship of address and character name ( besides tons of other data). All data one needs for a denial of service targeted at a specific player.
That is my concern as far the ip thing goes. |
