Coral P2P Cache Enters Public Beta

Posted by timothy on from the will-it-scale dept.

Eloquence writes "infoAnarchy reports that Coral, a peer-to-peer webcaching system, has gone into public beta. Currently the Coral node network is hosted on Planet-Lab, a large scale distributed research network of 400 servers. You can use Coral right now by appending "nyud.net:8090" to a hostname. View Slashdot through Coral. Is this the end of the Slashdot effect?"

    A pet peeve of mine.

    Slashdot does not use .PNG for its graphics, but rather uses .GIF

    As this is an obvious contradiction to the views of the site's editors and readership, I once emailed Malda asking him why he used GIFs.

    He said "not to confuse his reader's interests with his own interests".

    Here's something I've often wondered - what's the go here? Microsoft don't want anyone mirroring Windows XP Service Pack 2 (despite lots of places still having it mirrored), but what about proxies?
