I've been been taking my mind off the G8 meetings in France by testing various p2p systems this past week. First I set up a directory (/home/media/shared) and dumped in a gig of quality content -- Chomsky, Guerrilla News Network, Michael Moore, Adbusters, DemandMedia, etc. Then I made it all accessible via the gnutella, circle, soulseek and edonkey (?) networks. It's all a little unstable with gnutella and soulseek usually crashing at least once a day. Top story for this week is "How to fire your boss, an anarchist guide to direct action in the workplace.pdf" followed by GNN's "S11 Redux". The obscurely-named 40mb Redux .mov made such an impressive start (6,000 gnutella u/l in less than a week) that yesterday I decided to make copies of it, entitled 'Penthouse Platinum - Traci Lords, etc (xxx)', "Christina Aguilera - Beautiful (PG13)" and "Jennifer Lopez - Up Close and Naked (XXX)". Today these are quickly climbing the gnutella chart with approx. 1,000 uploads each.
