vs. broadband is comparing apples with oranges. Nowadays dialup is usually nothing but ADSL with bandwidths from 128kbps to 8Mbps. Those who still use 56kbps crap cannot use filesharing properly at all anyways.
Hahaha! lol I used dial up with LW for 3 yrs. AFAIK this thread is not talking about Bittorrent! So I don't know why you mentioned it, it's off-topic & irrelevant. And Fabion made a very good point that most net users out there are dial up users. If not for dial up users, p2p would be very limited re: no. of users & files available. p2p is not & should not be restricted to those with adsl/cable. What an attitude. lol Bet you're a racist also huh! And talking about living in trees, a well educated person will know that any references they make should be properly defined & accurately given with direct links. eg: quote a statement from a book then you should supply the book & page no. details, etc.
To reiterate, asking for a direct link was & is not such a big deal!
