I emailed this first to freebsd-www and Bruce A. Mah <bmah@FreeBSD.ORG> suggested: >Hi Hunter-- >I hadn't heard of your project before but the Web pages look >interesting! ...post a >quick note to one or two of the FreeBSD mailing lists with the info >you've given here So thats what I am doing. Checkit: ------------------- Hi, im on the BitTorrent team. (http://bitconjurer.org/bittorrent) In one line: its a protocol and an implemenation for p2p sharing of specific files; its not a search network. Everything is free AND open. We mirrored 5.0 AS SOON as it came out, but we didnt get any publicity. ( http://tacos.sus.mcgill.ca/~hperes/BT_BSD5.0/ ). We posted a comment on /. but it received little moderation. Unfortunately, BitTorrent is mainly being used by irc movie phreaks for illegitimate causes. 12,000 torrents of a 3gb LOTR2 were served in one day for example. BitTorrent is well tested for over a year, secure, and platform independant. Please email me, or join us on irc.freenode.net #bittorent. We would like you to put links of torrents on the freebsd webpage, not with the intent of replacing anything, but simply in addition to. There is so much value in doing this, you WILL see. -Thanks, Hunter. __________________________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? Yahoo! Mail Plus - Powerful. Affordable.
