There could very well be a family wishing to share a large collection of digital family videos that they have taken at holidays and birthdays, for instance. They want them to remain fairly private while sharing the content that they own.
such family should use something which is NOT BT. WASTE is one altrenative. among others are DC++, Rodi etc.
UDP based protocols solve the problem at least partially. If packet loss is a rare condition application can use HD as a buffer. look "lambda networks" in Google or wikipedia. look also "Rodi P2P" - pure UDP P2P client (not the only one). Gnutella is the other example of UDP based data transfer.
The most popular approaches to the problem of the fat pipes is multiple TCP sessions and streaming over UDP. In case of streaming over UDP retransmission requests can arrive after the transaction of some large block completed. In many UDP based protocols destination sends only NACks. etc.
The area is very interesting and i expect will gain more attention in the future. it looks unlikely that network delay will be (can be ?) cured, but pipes are definitely getting fatter.
"Another solution would be use to use recommender systems"
check project Rodi P2P. this is not a "recommender" system, but thanks to certificates and (optionally) signed packets you can create invitation only P2P hub. you can use certificate chains to ensure that only invited by trusted peers clients get access to the content you deliver.
you can also check Rodi - it can work as a members only hub and as a public network in the same time. for example Rodi client can search/download content from the public domain while providing only limited access to the locally published content.
you watched the movie for free ? you wasted your time instead of paying money to the record labels. it is illegal spend money in any other shop, but RIAA
i wrote JS script to solve the problem with CNN media links
see instructions here (requiers GreaeMonkey extension and firefox) http://larytet.sourceforge.net/howto.shtml
you found links to CNN.com content ? please, let me know how you do it. i tried to read their JS, but i failed miserably.
appreciate your help
in case you do not want to publish it my email larytet AT yahoo DOT com
thanks
a question - how can i open that "watch" links on CNN.com ? they look like JavaScript links. how can i fetch URL and download the content ? i will greatly appreciate any link to useful tutorial.
i filled the support form on CNN.com website where i ask to change format from streaming to downloading of nonDRMed files and suggest OGG Vorbis or AVI, but my uneducated guess is that they are going to ignore it. hack remains the only option. i think i am able to compile VLC on my machine.
" HTTP protocol that used a variant TCP-like effect on top of UDP"
i read about such protocol - HTTP on top of UDP. i understand that in some corner of Open Source community people struggle to bring attention to their work . unfortunately i can not give you the link. google ?
" combined his IP spoofing with Bram's torrent client"
i would love too, it;s not that simple. + Bram is not exactly a person who can be easly convinced. + and most important BitTorrent is good as it is. actually BT is perfect for some applications
"his 'bouncing' thing is nice, but it slows down the transfer, because I don't know if the guys between me and the source of the warez have good connections.."
Rodi Publisher knows the bouncer and probably even runs/owns the bouncer (chain of the bouncers). Rodi Publisher wants to be sure that even if the bouncer is compromised there is no any logs on the hard disk.

ok. i figured this out let's say that JS argumet on the page is /video/us/2005/09/03/koinange.convention.center.la test.cnn
the link to ASX is
http://dynamic.cnn.com/apps/tp/video/us/2005/09/03 /koinange.convention.center.latest.cnn/video.ws.as x
add URL http://dynamic.cnn.com/apps/tp/ and filename video.ws.asx
script for GreaseMonkey is one the way

proxy is optional
...check out the project again in Oct-Nov,05 may be i will have somethign for you. btw plugin for firefox is it alright ?
look this http://methlabs.org/forums/showthread.php?t=12918
i am glad that you saw it's working
...chain of bouncers may be ?
...and write up is completely wrong. visit the project page to finf out

and your guess is correct. help me to improve the design
