Swarmcast is at it again: Here's an opportunity for the truly to grab
two of the newest Linux beta distro CD sets over a new GPL P2P
technology.
For those who don't know Swarmcast, this a JavaWebStart (JNLP)
implementation of a different sort of file transfer using forward
error correction to enable file 'sharing' long before the first
download is done. Some call it "RAID for the Web".
To play the game, you need the Java Runtime 1.2 or better, and it
works best when there are more than two people downloading (or who
are kind enough to stay online after downloading)
(sorry for the long URLs; the observant will detect a pattern ;)
