Subject: RE: Tech: Info on Bit Torrent
It is uncanny how something will pop up at the Mudcat and then you stumble upon it again browsing a website. From the good people at the Electronic Frontier Foundation. Released this month. "Switzerland Test Your IP" (This is a fascinating organization that I beleave goes back to the olden days of the orginal "Well" forums.)

"Is your ISP interfering with your BitTorrent connections?"

"Switzerland is an open source software tool for testing the integrity of data communications over networks, ISPs and firewalls. It will spot IP packets which are forged or modified between clients..."

"Worried that your broadband provider is slowing down your Web traffic?"

"If so, you might want to download the aptly named "Switzerland" —"

An interesting series of articles onthe site.
