Another is I have ipv4-to-ipv6 translation enabled on the OS, my presence in
the internet is seen as an IPv6 network. Currently, everything works fine,
but I'm really worried about enabling ICP, if it will interfere with the
network connectivity.

Currently the UDP multicast filesharing is really becoming annoying since
it's easy to enable, and easy to use because of the custom GTK+ GUI, and
it's becoming a #1 toy for all the students in the network.
