any ideas about ES5?

[multi]

was due on the 14th...hmm

it sound fairly interesting.....

ES5 enables all file types and will be available in 28 languages.

Stealth & Cloaking Technology - ES5 #1 goal is to protect its users from intrusions to their privacy by providing encrypted traffic, random ports and IP anonymity:

· One-Click Proxy Server - Users can send connection requests through intermediary proxy servers located throughout the world so that the download destination of a file cannot be traced by any entity whatsoever. There is nothing for the user to set-up, just right click to enable the proxy server.

· SSL - Secure Sockets – Prevents monitoring of a user’s uploading or downloading activity. Users can automatically deploy SSL by right clicking.

· UDP - User Datagram Protocol – Using UDP makes it impossible to reliably scan a user’s computer to determine if ES5 is running. Also, unlike TCP connections, UDP traffic can not be easily blocked by ISPs.

· ES5 Security Key - ES5 utilizes a standard HTTP server to transmit files, but deploys a special "security key" so than only ES5 users can access your shared files.

· IP Addresses - ES5 does not display user IP Address information.

· Dynamic Ports – Each ES5 node uses a randomly chosen port (unless the user chooses a specific port themselves). Therefore, ISP’s will be unable to identify file-sharing traffic based upon port numbers and unable to throttle back the users bandwidth.

· User Defined Port Settings – ES5 provides users with “one-click” port setting options for ES5 to use port 53 (the port used by DNS) or port 37 (the port used by time service) therefore rendering all blocking attempts hopeless.

· Multiple Points of Entry - ES5 uses multiple methods for connecting to the ES5 network including IP Multicast, Usenet Articles, Web Sites, Node List Files and a several other undisclosed methods. .

· Penetrating Firewalls – UDP allows seamless penetration of firewalls without inconvenient setting of firewall parameters. For users behind firewalls, ES5 uses UDP to request a PUSH, where the behind-the-firewall computer initiates the connection back to the requested user’s computer.

File-Reliability - ES5 has deployed technology to thwart the efforts of spoofing, interdiction, poor quality files, viruses and broken file segments that plague the other P2P networks. ES5 will launch with 1.5 terabytes of files that should grow quickly as more users join.

· The Green Light - ES5 has VERIFIED files that are confirmed to be authentic, high quality and VIRUS-FREE as signified by a small green light that will be next to the file in the search results list.

· No Waiting For More Sources - ES5 has been designed not to have "missing" files by removing bad files during the search stage. Only a files that are readily availablefor downloading are listed.

· “InterGalactic Searches” - ES5’s version of ultrapeers or supernodes, however searches are not just limited to your nearest “star cluster” because ES5 constantly shuffles the Planets and Stars, creating new Galaxies so users are always accessing different parts of the Universe on every search. Since ES5 displays results of authenticated “green-lighted” and ready to download files only, it is not necessary to retrieve hundreds of file listings. If a user is unsatisfied with the results of their search page, a SEARCH AGAIN button automatically searches a new galaxy of users.

· Less Bandwidth Usage - ES5 uses UDP (instead of TCP) for searching its universe thereby significantly decreasing the bandwidth requirements for its users and provides automatic network load balancing. Nodes with bad or slow Internet connections will respond less to search requests so that those slower and unreliable nodes won’t stymie users with better connections. ES5 lets users limit the amount of bandwidth it uses.

· Standard Performance Enhancements – ES5 has incorporated all the advanced P2P file sharing technologies that any reputable client must have today including concurrent segmented downloads / swarm downloading, auto-resume downloads, multiple searches simultaneously, metadata support and previewing.

The public beta launch of ES5 scheduled for Feb. 14 has been temporarily delayed while we do some last minute tinkering... it will still be released as quickly as possible over the next week or two. Since the release has been highly anticipated, we have sent the current beta to a few key members of ZeroPaid, UniteTheCows and Slyck. We have requested them not to distribute this version because we do not think it's quite ready for prime time, but understood that the only way to dispel any cries of "HOAX" was to provide them with the current version and other detailed information.

We apologize for the inconvenience and pledge that ES5 will deliver a product that will be worth this slight delay. We will keep you notified on this site and in the Forums at the above sites. Thank you.
