Iirc windows 10 install asks if you have metered Internet. I bet they turn this off if you click no. But that's speculation.

I remember when people thought BitTorrent would revolutionize file hosting. Now people think it's stealing bandwidth.



Default setting is disabled for metered connections. One can also set it up to p2p updates locally but not on internet.

Don't know why ms didn't play it safe and put internet resharing as an opt in...

Oh and I don't remeber but I think you can't set a wired connection as metered.


If you cannot set wired as metered then it's bullshit.
