Funny how K and G have updated @ nearly the same time, eh? Any additional surprises in Grokie I should know about? I've uninstalled all FT clients due to this itchy, irritating rash I developed using them. Due to certain difficulties finding a few hard-to-get music tracks, I may have to resort to reinstalling sometime soon. Hopefully AGalaxy or AGnome will come through for me first before resorting to such desperate measures . <---- I'm glad you now see the awesome power of the NU flower |

at the moment i cannot recommend or endorse any fasttrack client even kazaa lite 1.71. there is just too much that is not known about the behind-the-scenes workings of kazaa et al (example...did you know one of their "business partners is time-warner cable through associations with brilliant digital entertainment?) and i think if i remember correctly that Timewarner cable and a few other companies (i believe AOL which is now a part of timewarner) was also involved on the deal to have their own version of mp3's available for download in something called Pressplay which if i'm not mistaken has failed. Now that raises a question how can kazaa be in partnership with people who are suing them through the legal system in an effort to stop them...i've also read all about the privacy policy for bde (brilliant digital) it says they have ways of tracking copyrighted material. This is 100% true. I can't go into details right now but if you use fasttrack you are at risk for future penalties that might be imposed as a result of Digital Millineum Copyright Act or DMCA for short. I've been working with the gift project to a certain extent and i've determined that it WILL FAIL (i might post my thoughts on this at a later time...not now) anyways i do have a very sneaking suspicion that AYB and Indiana's client is almost ready for a public release [b]This is my opinion will be the next big thing in the world of p2p. My own client has failed and is no longer in the works. thanks for listening, - harbynger |

heres a concern of mine:
its about time for them to make altnet mandatory like the call for the cd_clint.dll is now hardcoded into the executable so too will altnet (if its not already in there and just not obvious) i strongly suspect that once the subscription model gets going we won't be able to connect to the network like before. i'm looking to alternatives but currently there aren't any that meet my standards (fasttrack has set the standard i believe in gnutella...its based on gnutella and they did it right by limiting search results and using supernodes if Xolox did the same thing they would have less network congestion (bottlenecks) |
