Re: Gnutella 3

I doubt, that p2p today is an easy protocol for all wishes,
I believe, that high expectations are given and that this will fulfill best
a library, lib libtorrent.sf.net .
so many users can implement it. Most projects are c++ still and second java.
so a c++ library would be fine and an implementation maybe in java too,
which needs 5 years.
so let´s start with c++ and here we are again throuwn back to the question,
if it brings back the "feud"
or if it is "just" open source sharing.
So my analyis is, that we need a high specialized team in creating such a
library.
Seeding the chunks, before the hashurl is given, is one important feature
like having the IP adresses
downloading an url not grouped around it.
here no solution or alternative has been given, except Raphael, not wanting
that.
