This is a little bit old, but it looks like Kimix is considering Metalink as a content download architecture.
http://blog.kiwix.org/post/2011/04/01/Content-manager%3A-challenges-and-solutions >From the article: """ Kiwix will provide a new usage experience when downloading, sharing, organizing, deleting of different content can be done without using or installing other tools. Distribution of content will benefit if we make the Kiwix users life even simpler than today. .... The architectural solution we envision to fullfill the above requirements is to combine the specific advantages of a centralized download via FTP/HTTP (for efficiency) and decentralized P2P (for ruggedness and low cost). The standard which seems to best match the requirements is Metalink. """ -- You received this message because you are subscribed to the Google Groups "Metalink Discussion" group.
