So how do people feel about akamai?
>Running 15-30% of internet
>p2p from personal computers
You probably have it running too.
I just got disturbed by the ip addresses it was sending data to and removed it completely.
No noticeable change in internet speed.
It just seems that the company is completely running on all of the personal computers, not on the servers of it's own.
Is there something that I should be removing on Linux/OS X?

Last time i tried to fuck around with 3dsmax i remember something with that name being installed.
I dint know if it should be removed at all that's kind of the point of my question. And i dont know if akamai is running on linux, i would assume it is because most of the servers are linux os based.
And it also seems like windows update is atleast partly running with akamais p2p
So akamai is a cloud service.
Where there is a cloud, millions and millions of clouds, your computers.
Whenewer windows checks if it needs updates from windows it might find something to update, instead making servers for millions of people, Akamai makes your computer a server.
So i need an update? And all my neigbors already got it.
Akamai gets the update from all the other computers around instead of stressing the servers.
Of course there is always the first so the cloudcluster can start, but after that it's just people sending people their files.
And if somoeone would infect the original file with a virus? I would imagine it could be a security issue.
Like a dormant virus with an activation date. One day millions of computers would just freeze.
On a sidenote, i just might be paranoid. Next thing you know there is skynet.
Literally a botnet
