Re: Gnutella 3

hi raphael,
http://offload.sf.net is a new gui for the offsystem client, which can be
found here with some information. which is more technical
http://offsystem.sf.net

Off is a network, in which XORed (encrypted) blocks are stored in a DHT.
they are exchanged over a http protocol, the blocks look like http, so they
are not stoppable.
the clients have UDP, UPNP, so firewalled nodes are not a problem.
as the blocks are shreddered data, the MEANING (to restore/retrieve a file)
is saved in the magnet link (called off-url or off-torrent or gnutella 3-
URI)
In that way, the blocks are spread around the dht like a torrent.
you can upload blocks into other clients. as it is a dht.
that make it look like freenet, a big cloud cache of blocks,

you can extract the file from downloaded blocks by the off.url
as the off url has the meaning, it is not searchable on the network (that is
the difference from offload and offsystem, offload does not share any off
url from the client into the p2pnetwork, as this is insecure.) you need to
share the off url in another portal, p2p or better f2f network (e.g.
retroshare, see chat panels for that in offload)
