When you have a situation in a supposed democracy that allows legislation to be purchased, you have to adopt different tactics to simply writing letters to your congressmen, or signing petitions, etc. Anyway, I have no congressman, I'm in the UK.
I specifically used UDP to get around the TCP 'ack bottleneck' problem. When I used a 56k modem, any upload would completely kill any downloads, because of the outgoing acks's queueing with the outgoing upload data. The 'ack system in Streamer is supposed to get round this, and allow real full duplex. Streamer needs real full duplex to work properly.
It's open at the moment, unless your firewall blocks it of course. It is a beta folks, I released it in anger at the CARP & Audiogalaxy bullshit. So yes, the k1dd1es can remotely close Streamer. I'll fix it.
The skr1pt k1dd1es have just been returning a too-long string in the config POST, and I wasn't checking it. It's fixed now. I wasn't actually planning on this thing suddenly being quite so popular. Before this morning, I had a total of 16 hosts seen, no more than 4 at once. When I got up to watch the footy, I saw 256+ seen hosts. I thought WTF?
The concept of P2P radio was just begging to be released by the likes of CARP and the RIAA. Well, Hillary Rosen, what have you to say for yourself now that you have uncorked the genie THIS time?
I did think that maybe this may come as a nasty suprise to them. I bet they didn't see this coming, just like they didn't see p2p file sharing. hehehe
Ooops...,uploaded to wrong place, sorry. The 'iainlib' bit is there now, so it should all compile nicely. Anyone who couldn't guess what the missing functions like 'fsLoadFile' did though doesn't deserve to compile it....

1 - Streamer got/.'ed first (hehehe)
2 - The OpenDJ thing isn't really same as streamer at all. It uses big central servers to provide the bandwidth (and is therefore open to riaa lawyer attack), Streamer uses a p2p relay system. OpenDJ isn't about stealth, Streamer is all about stealth.
3 - OpenDJ is more reliable than Streamer (for now).
The listener count will be optional, under control of the broadcaster. The system doesn't have to be used anonymously by those that don't need to. There are better ways to optimise and stabilise a relay tree when stealth isn't a concern. I intended this thing to enable big webcasts that don't fall over because of server overloads, as well as it being a stealth broadcasting tool.

I'm not selling Streamer. I'm trying to sell my game 'Spheres of Chaos', but no-one is buying it anymore. Probably those nice crackers, mistaking me for rich uncle Bill. p.s. Source uploaded:-)...but please don't everyone do their own versions yet. I want to implement all my ideas more first.
Yes, I mostly agree with these problems. Ths station info doesn't have an IP, it has a stream ID. When you try to tune to a stream, it just ask other hosts if they can send that particular stream. This thing can have completely legit uses too - the ability to do large webcasts that don't fall over. And you could choose to initially relay through a host in Russia or somewhere for anoninimity. The code for that is not there yet though.

But I don't like spam!
It's GPL'd open source now. They can sue however much they want, it's 'in the wild' now.
And offer a big fat bribe to stop working on it?, that would be cool!
....Wonnnnnnderfuuuul spammmmmmm.
Not if you use a chain of first-stage anonymous relays in Russia.

Stop calling OpenDJ a 'streamer' please, they are different things. And these Opendj posts are getting to look a bit spammy....
