Slashdot Mirror
A Blog With Unlimited Bandwidth (Beta 1.2)
jcr13 writes "konspire2b is a new content distribution system that essentially turns the standard p2p model upside down. This simple change gives the network several nice properties, including log-bounded distribution times (logarithmic in the number of nodes that receive a file) and a refreshingly different (and somewhat blog-like) user-interaction model. Comparisons have been made to other systems, including BitTorrent (with in-depth analysis), but k2b stands alone as a unique system tackling a different problem than other p2p systems. Recent Slashdot attention gave the network an effective stress test and provided the first real-world measurement results. The new beta1.2 release contains fixes for all of the issues encountered during this traffic surge."
be careful when informing the masses about new technologies, wouldn't want to negate the potentcy of the slashdot effect..

like, say, when the damn servers with the .torrents gets hit hard and spontaneously combust into a pile of smoking ashes.
/. took out all the torrent servers a few weeks back?

when alice initiates the broadcast, her node first sends out prebroadcasts. Prebroadcasts are announcements for content. Using prebroadcasts, alice's node essentially says, "i'm about to send TheMatrixReloaded_Divx.avi, who wants it? Her node sends prebroadcasts to all of its immediate neighbors in the network, and these neighbors forward it to all of their neighbors, etc. Lots of nodes in the network get this prebroadcast, and the path the prebroadcasts travel look something like this:
The point here is that this is designed for situations where tens of thousands of people all want the same content at the same time

Ah, Audiogalaxy... I had fun with that while living in the dorms. Ever notice that to log in, it simply sent your user name & password as part of the URL? At the time I had a packet sniffer. Probably still have it, as a matter of fact. Do you see where I'm going with this? It was so fun to hear people exclaim choice phrases such as "what the $%^@??" when their computer randomly switched from playing Metallica to some gospel spiritual.
good times!

however if the axis of rotation was either of the remaing axes then the result would be

How long until the spammers start sending their crap out on something like this? Since the user cannot select what he is trying to get, it seems like this tool just begs spammers to place fraudulant files on your machine.
User: "Hey, the new White Stripes song!"
Song: "How would you like to increase your penis size by as much as 30%?"
User: "Man, this song sucks!"
