Pending…

April 26, 2008

We still can’t decide on a network protocol. DC++ (Direct Connect) Seems to be the best way, theoretically speaking, but the client/server software is lacking for Linux CLI daemons. If you know of any good CLI server/hub please let us know.

Fixed Typos

K pointed out typos in Maintenance and DynDNS pages. They’ve been fixed.

Protocols

April 5, 2008

Here’s a list of network protocols that we’ll be looking at. The selection will obviously require support on all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).

  1. Bittorrent (Private Tracker + Frontend)
    It requires generating .torrent files which is very cumbersome. Can be capped by ISPs.
  2. DC++ (Private Hub)
    MD5 checksums issues?
  3. WASTE
    Pending evaluation
  4. eDonkey/eMule
    Can be capped by ISP.
  5. Gnutella/Gnutella2
    Can be capped by ISP. 
  6. IRC
    Requires bots/scripts. No encryption?
  7. GNUnet
    Pending evaluation.
  8. FTP/SFTP (Private user/pass)
    Poor security for FTP. Too risky for SFTP? No Fair Queue System
