Well, most BitTorrent clients are open source software and users have full control of the resources they share, but that doesn't prevent them to share often more than what they consume. Of course file-sharing and realtime communications are quite different beasts, but I don't think that if Skype allowed users to turn the local relay off, many would actually do that. -- Ciao, Enrico
