Best of luck to them, I can't see how this would even work.

About 4 years ago, somebody in Pakistan inadvertently 'took out' YouTube for most of the world. It may be possible to do it on a wider basis.

Misrouting occurs every year or so among the world's Internet carriers, usually as a result of typos or other errors, Underwood said. In a more severe example, a Turkish telecom provider in 2004 started advertising that it was the best route to all of the Internet, causing widespread outages for many Web sites over several hours.

"Nobody ran any viruses or worms or malicious code. This is just the way the Internet works. And it's not very secure or reliable," Underwood said, adding that there is no real solution to the problem on the table.

Ah they're protesting against SOPA again. Incidentally: SOPA happens to be an anagram of soap which is something pasty sunshine dodgers with an aversion to personal hygeine should consider using instead of sitting on their sweaty buttocks all day looking for things to hack.

I don't care who they are protesting against. They have no right to affect internet businesses that they have no quibble with from operating.

Or sort through the stuff you've already downloaded. and make a 'Best' folder. delete the rubbish and duplicate ones. then you got more drive space to download some more!
