None, but the point I was trying to make (badly) was that unless there's
unlimited bandwidth and modems available, which like all ISP's there's not,
eventually it will reach saturation point where no one can get connected. If
people where paying normal BT rates would they hog the resources for hours on
end downloading tons of MP3's etc? of course they wouldn't. So why do they do
it on RHA. Yes because it's free'ish. Selfish buggers. :)
