I knew about Zero Wing after the whole AYBABTU thing broke off, a while ago I thought of trying the original game, I downloaded Gens and the game's ROM, the game itself isn't bad at all, it also features the intro with the original beeps and background music too.
I wish I could even use WINE to develop applications for windows tooo (not that I develop many)... That would help me completely free the win partition on my system.
Kenosis works in almost any networking environnment, including restrictive corporate firewalls, because it uses XMLRPC for its network communications. It can also work with an HTTP proxy.
This alone makes a worthwhile project, for those stuck behind firewalls/proxies.

Actually looks like it is possible, haven't tried it myself though.
Hmm, really? I couldn't find any more info on the project's page, I think I'll test it and see if it's true.
Anyway, if your comment is correct, then it doesn't offer anything new over BT in this regard, as BT already uses HTTP to connect to the tracker.
Not really, if the md5 hash of each segment of the file is computed and transfered to clients, a client can check whether the segment is valid or not.
Kinda like EDonkey2000, not sure if BT works in a similar way.
Yes you need some protections, but it's still possible to protect clients from malicious peers.

I get that error message on other pages too, I think their database server is down or something.
