what's always bugged me about things like seti@home and
distributed.net is the fact that they are in place to conduct massive
network sniffing.

all these clients on a lot of different networks running software that
report some kind of info (who can tell what is sent?) to a central
point...scares me.

the fact that some of these projects don't release their source code
makes it even worse.
