So much bandwith, so little traffic
I've been crawling along on dial-up from home for about a year now, and I'm finally going back to cable internet. The issue for me was always cost. It's just plain expensive and I'm not home most of the day to enjoy it. This got me thinking...
Anyone have creative ways to take advantage of the extra bandwidth you have from cable, DSL, or other always-on connections? I've heard of various programs that use spare PC time from around the globe to crunch data for things like finding large prime numbers, a cure for cancer, and even ET 0X . Have you folks used these programs? Had any problems? Know of any others like them, or any other programs to use spare bandwidth?
