This works fine, until we hit the internet and suddenly bandwidth costs money. From a business point of view multicast transfers are a means for clients to push costs onto whoever runs the server. Personally, I doubt there will be a lot of Jabber servers doing this. It is, after all, one of the major reasons why p2p file transfers took off. > Also, by having publically downloadable files, we can > set up x:data to work with it and users can search. You mean like Tucows and Napster? [1] I think this is also a boundary discussion: are we trying to make Jabber capable of doing everything that "the internet" can do? If not, where do we draw the line? Moz [1] I don't mean that as a variant Godwins invocation, BTW. _________________________________________________________ Do You Yahoo!?
