It's Toronto based so it can't be all bad
All Hail Qnext By JACK KAPICA - Tuesday, October 4, 2005 Posted at 2:44 PM EDT Associated Press and Canadian Press * E-mail Jack Kapica, Read Bio, Latest Columns The big news today will come from California, where Sun Microsystems and Google are scheduled to announce a partnership that pundits speculate will amount to a full-frontal assault on Microsoft. (See Mathew Ingram's column for the story.) I wish they wouldn't make such predictions - there have been so many such predictions in the past that a new one had become little more than a cliche. But it could be a fascinating partnership, and one with pockets deep enough to make something happen, even if it isn't toppling the Redmond monolith. As a hint of what's to come, Sun CEO Jonathan Schwartz's blog of Oct. 1 mentions a series of technologies that he thinks are ripe for a future not based on Windows - among them Skype, Google Earth and his own StarOffice. "There's a resurgence of interest in resident software that executes on your desktop," he said, "yet connects to network services." Then he added another one: QNext, from a Toronto-based company. It's a small, Java-based peer-to-peer application combining instant messaging and file-sharing (though not on a network level). QNext is an interesting program, and could well be on its way to a bright future. And how much brighter can you get than an endorsement from Sun Microsystems' CEO just before announcing what might be a major assault on Microsoft? E-Mail Jack Kapica at jkapica@globeandmail.ca |

They can!!
File transfers of ANY size will resume if the connection is severed for any reason. As soon as both users are connected, it will automatically resume.

welcome to the forum mike.
centrally served handshakes or serverless, open sharing and social functions (chat, rooms etc) or encrypted, open source or closed mike? and yes, you're a spammer. (sometimes it's ok.) - js. |

can you cancel individual access or control the users in any way? your website seems to indicate that you can. if so, why would you? what i’m concerned about is still another weak p2p network-with-pretty-features that's unable to withstand hostile legal actions, siphoning off users from robustly secure networks that can hold their own. the community is painfully familiar with file-sharing societies ruined by legal fiat like grokster or dysfunctional internal dynamics like morpheus. we’ve seen too many communities brought down by architecture geared more to profits than user protection. there are many p2p systems and regardless of bells and whistles most are as good as the next, so truly new ideas are essential. client creativity and system creators should be celebrated, but since there are so few systems strong enough to stand on their own, and to stand up to hostile actions by copyright cartels and judicial writs, it becomes essential we encourage the more robust of them, for the benefit of all users, and not just the financial investors. that about sums it up. - js. |

you connect through the Qnext server encrypted at 512 bits... after that it is all unregulated p2p action, and we have absolutely no ability to monitor or access what is being shared or communicated privately...
