message: "slow or stop his connexion with your node." - spelling error? "connection" instead?
Connexion is an acceptable spelling
: Yes, it's the British spelling. Haakon 18:30, 15 September 2006 (UTC)
replies: text:  It is certainly not *the* British spelling. It may be acceptable, but it is very seldom seen. There is no sensible argument for using it for the global WP audience.  —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.245.224.131 (talk) 08:37, 2 July 2009 (UTC)
thread_title: Minor Corrections

message: "Strong encrypted F2F networks will mainly use strong symmetric encryption (in particular, the only theoretically secure one-time pad) for every link."
Who ever wrote this article could do with a brush up on practical cryptography (no..not the book). OTP is pretty unpractical here.
: I make a 500 GB hdd full of random bytes, I give a copy of this hdd to a friend. We can now exchange up to 500 GB of data using OTP in the following years. If we only use F2F to share controversial text documents, that should even be enough for a lifetime. Only F2F P2P networks can allow friends to use OTP for link encryption. Men in the middle issues would be a major deterrent in any other kind of network. Note that in a F2F network, link encryption can be of a different type for each link. A plugin mechanism would just make this easier. Anyway, we're talking about future uses here.Touisiau
:: Key exchange and OTP encryption are general cryptogaphy issues - they are not specific to friend-to-friend networks, so why are they on this page?Michael Rogers
::: AS the current article explains in "future uses" section, F2F are the only kind of P2P network that can use the only provably secure encryption , namely OTP. This is noteworthy.Touisiau
"In countries where strong crypto is forbidden (or where you can be forced to give your keys), serious steganography should be used for every connection (and for storing files in your hard disk, since it could be seized.)."
This is general computer security advice, does it reallly belong here? Michael Rogers 17:15, 1 March 2007 (UTC)
replies: text: If there is a powerful MITM watching your connections in a country where strong crypto is forbidden, you have to use steganography. Steganography involves a secret convention, and the only safe way to share this secret convention in a country where strong crypto is forbidden is a face-to-face meeting. Thus only F2F networks can work in such countries. This is noteworthy. Touisiau
Thanks, the new wording is much clearer. Michael Rogers 09:33, 2 March 2007 (UTC)
thread_title: Technical Questions

message: "You can even give their IP to the police, but since they are your friends you should kindly warn them first. Maybe one of their own friends made them do that. Now they can warn this friend in turn. And so on." Passages like this hardly seem appropriate in an encyclopedia.
:I read this over and over, and I still have no idea what it means, but I probably agree it is not appropriate. --Easyas12c 07:03, 25 August 2005 (UTC)
replies: text: I think the point is that the first sentence seems to pit F2F users against the police who are, by definition, not friends. If I understand your point correctly, you are saying that innocent users may have inadvertently propagated something illegal, so one shouldn't necessarily call the police without giving them an opportunity to determine the source. There's probably a way to put this point that would be acceptable here.Bryan 14:56, 4 November 2005 (UTC)
thread_title: NPOV Issues

message: Can someone provide references that show that the latest versions of ANts P2P, MUTE and Napshare can be configured to build a F2F network.
There were such references in the past here, but they became too old and then became broken links.
: Thanks for the information - do you have any links? Michael Rogers 09:48, 13 February 2007 (UTC)
thread_title:  ANts P2P, MUTE and Napshare ? 

message: I think the article can be improved, but don't need a a complete rewriting.
* F3F can easily be moved in future uses.
* "you can do" is easy to transform into "one can do"
* Forwarding is very important, otherwise the functionality would be the same as a private FTP.
* Anonymity is very important, otherwise the functionality would be the same as a standard P2P. Touisiau 07:21, 13 February 2007 (UTC)

thread_title:  german link 

message: Cyberbot II has detected that page contains external links that have either been globally or locally blacklisted.
Links tend to be blacklisted because they have a history of being spammed, or are highly innappropriate for Wikipedia.
This, however, doesn't necessarily mean it's spam, or not a good link.
If the link is a good link, you may wish to request whitelisting by going to the request page for whitelisting.
If you feel the link being caught by the blacklist is a false positive, or no longer needed on the blacklist, you may request the regex be removed or altered at the blacklist request page.
If the link is blacklisted globally and you feel the above applies you may request to whitelist it using the before mentioned request page, or request it's removal, or alteration, at the request page on meta.
When requesting whitelisting, be sure to supply the link to be whitelisted and wrap the link in nowiki tags.
The whitelisting process can take its time so once a request has been filled out, you may set the invisible parameter on the tag to true.
Please be aware that the bot will replace removed tags, and will remove misplaced tags regularly.
Below is a list of links that were found on the main page:
