Anyone up for segmented downloads???
 

Since Xolox doesn't seem to like my new Athlon XP 1600+ (it actually eats up more processor time then on my old PII/400) I'd like to know if in the meantime any other gnutella servant has been updated with the abillity to download a file from several people at once.

I heard that gnotella does, but according to their homepage it does not - anyone knows of a servant which is up to the challenge?

Xolox is actually the only gnet client with this ability!

But bearshare (defender!) and Limewire (supernode!) will follow soon...

How soon? :D

Next year? Meanwhile use Morpheus, sad but true.

The beta tests for the new bearshare version will start in the next few days... so a release in december is possible!

Hm... not sure if such a short betaphase would be a good thing.
I'm trying edonkey at the moment ... cute little program. If only they would have taken german t-online users into account. If I set my upload to higher then 10 KB I can't get anything downloaded ...

I've not programmed my own gnutella servant (yet), but is it really SO hard to program it so that outgoing requests have priority before outgoing replies? Ah well...

Hi Sorcy!

Ah, Morgwen ... I think there will be quite some time before I get around to programming my own gnutella servant. I'm not even sure it would be possible in the environment I have in mind...

But you can discuss with us?

May be you have some good ideas!

The author of Qtella said he would want to introduce segmented downloads in versions >0.3.3.

Also, Phex offers some kind of 'lite' segmented downloads: It can download different parts of the same file from different hosts in a completely automated manner, but not simultaneously.

You can try Ziga
http://sourceforge.net/projects/ziga/

It has support for swarmed downloads.
