I've always wondered what exactly Clubbox uses our "Idle Network Resouce Use" for us to get miles. I understand if they were using our CPU power to proccess data, but how would they use our bandwidth to accomplish anything if this isn't a P2P service. Does anyone actually know? I can't understand Korean so I wouldn't know if it said on their website.

Maybe. Maybe they just misworded it and are using our CPU power. Its possible to have thousands of computer working together over the internet. Many research instututions do this, such as SETI@home (to find ET life) and some cancer foundations (to find a cure). But what kinda of data would Clubbox want to process?

I doubt it is cause it uses no significant bandwidth.

They can sell the cpu time to others... (don't know if they do, but some companies do).

mmh no clue

whenever i run and download something, it uses 80% of my upload bandwidth.
i konw this becuase i have a bandwidth monitor.. explains all the lagginess when i play starcraft online. and he slugginess of internet browsing..

the upload bandwidth is just crazy
