Subject: node vs. server Here the popular press refers to distributed file sharing server-client programs as "clients", implying that no "server setup" (whatever that means) means you're not a server. Re a thread a while back on "servers" on cable modems. "Fans of Hotline (for the PC or the Mac) are used to the idea of sharing files with unknown parties, but these new applications are different: you don't have to set yourself up as a server in order to share your files. Installing the client is all you need to do, because files go from user to user with only indexing information passing through the central server." http://www.cnet.com/consumerelectronics/0-1577583-7-1582832.html?st.ce.1582831.txt.1577583-7-1582832
