Well, let's see. How can we fit streaming within the current Freenet framework? Off the top of my head, I can think of a couple of options: 1) Just have a really long-lived insert of a file that keeps getting longer as the stream goes on. Clients can either retrieve it from the beginning or request it starting at some offset from the beginning. 2) Insert a chain of files, each of which corresponds to say 15 minutes of audio. At the beginning of each is a pointer to the next one, so that you can start requesting it in the background while you listen to the current one. Thoughts? Are there security problems with having a request persist for a long time, as in option 1? Other problems or ideas? theo -- Theodore Hong Dept. of Computing, Imperial College London [EMAIL PROTECTED] 180 Queen's Gate, London SW7 2BZ PGP key: http://www.doc.ic.ac.uk/~twh1/ _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://dodo.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
