That's what bit torrents are for too. Very useful.
I have an older PC - P III 733 - that I am thinking of actually setting up
as a server. But I know nothing about doing such a thing so I keep putting
it off. Now that I am 'resting' again (I'm not an actor but it's such a
lovely phrase compared to the alternatives) I _really_ should actually set
it up and see what I can make it do and what I can't.
My theory is that I can connect it into my cable connection (may have to get
another logon for that) and then allow family and friends to upload and
download larger files for sharing purposes. I know it's possible, I've just
never tried anything like it before.
