great job İlim & Micah! just wanted to chime in & say that I'm able to compile this now! it may not be ready for prime time testing yet, but I think it's where interested parties can take a peek now! İlim was kind enough to implement listing "metalink" when you do 'wget --version' if support is compiled in. this helps people like me tell if they've stumbled along far enough :) once this gets farther along the github issue tracker might be useful: https://github.com/ilimugur/GSoC-Project/issues I only mention it because I didn't know it existed until gsoc & seems pretty handy... ps - libmetalink 0.1 is out, and so is curl 7.27 w/ metalink support, in case any inspiration can be gained from there. -- (( Anthony Bryan ...
