Eric, I'm not a Windows user, but I think that virus protection should be a feature of the system, not of the network client software. I recommend the Transmission bittorrent client, which is cross-platform, although other client software should work without problem. I'm new to the world of bittorrent distribution, and I'm not a Windows security expert, but I believe that the bittorrent protocol is safe enough. For extra safety, you might want to use a filtering software like PeerBlock. Etienne mentionned that all downloads are working, but it's not yet the case, I'm still working on it. I'll send updates for time to time. Daniel Courville submitted a new file yesterday; I had to manually complete the publication process, which should be automated soon enough. -- Marc _______________________________________________ Sursound mailing list [email protected] https://mail.music.vt.edu/mailman/listinfo/sursound
