- Bandwidth Hog
-
A bandwidth hog is a discourteous user who sets up his or her
computer to slop up as much of our network's capacity as
possible. OK, sometimes hogs aren't being rude on purpose--some hogs wallow
in their ignorance, not realizing that downloading just a
handful of MP3s a couple of weeks ago may have made their
computers into network servers, sharing those files with people
from Rodney B to Paris -- that's Paris as in France, Missouri, and Texas!
If you know any hogs, tell them how to
ditch their file-sharing programs.
