_____ From: Florent THIERY Subject: Re: [p2p-hackers] HTTP design flawed due to lack of understanding ofTCP
, but we're in danger of standardizing on a poorly designed architecture in all adopting BitTorrent. By the way, are there any similar protocols (in terms of instant single-file-downloading features) possibly in the research area, which may come in competition with BitTorrent in a near future ? I'm sure you realize there are many, many P2P protocols out there in competition with BitTorrent right now, so we needn't wait for the near future. I assume you're ignoring Gnutella, FastTrack (Kazaa), and OverNet (eDonkey) because they integrate searching and downloading, but other "instant single-file-downloading" networks include Red Swoosh, Dijjer, Kontiki, possibly Xunlei, and many more. So there's plenty of competition with BT right now, and it's not at all certain that BT will come out on top. -david
