The debian-private mailing list leak, part 1. Volunteers have complained about Blackmail. Lynchings. Character assassination. Defamation. Cyberbullying. Volunteers who gave many years of their lives are picked out at random for cruel social experiments. The former DPL's girlfriend Molly de Blanc is given volunteers to experiment on for her crazy talks. These volunteers never consented to be used like lab rats. We don't either. debian-private can no longer be a safe space for the cabal. Let these monsters have nowhere to hide. Volunteers are not disposable. We stand with the victims.

fsp bandwidth is limited to 1k / round-trip UDP packet delay.

It's much much friendlier for the fsp site, because it only uses 1
process for all clients, has much better security, and doesn't destroy
the site's network bandwidth.

Actually fsp is more robust because it's stateless.  If the server goes
down, the transaction will resume when it's restarted.

It doesn't really matter, because it isn't very popular.  Very few ftp
sites run fsp daemons.  The only place where it caught on is trading of
illegal software, probably because of the above reasons.  The sites are
much less likely to get noticed.
