... startfiles ....
soon after i made my posting about "startfiles" to the morpheus
forum , it got nuked and everthing was lost. since I think that these startfiles are a simple but powerful way to supply p2p sharing in favour of the user, I don't want it to be forgotten. (The idea is not new at all, see http://www.museekster.com/index2.html) If dont think, that this forum is the right place for it, please tell me. Its a rather specific matter for fasttrack clients as Morpheus and Kazaa. Startfiles are simply ".dat" files, as they are used by the clients to store there search information. Whats new now: Since i don't like executable binaries, I wrote a perl script to create startfiles out of the ".dbb" files. (1024k for now). It actually creates a .vbs script, which can be reviewed and downloaded and which creates local .dat files. Since the the script and dat files contain checksums and some file signatur they offer some reliability that you get the correct file, which you do no have if you search for it on the net. I will give some examples in a followup. indy |
