[TANK-develop] About Tank.

[Marc G. <ma...@sy...>]

Hi, i'm a Delphi developper, my speciality is TCP/IP internet =
application working with Indy, ICS, soon with DXInternet beta.
I also did build a peers-to-peers network last year but it's for =
broadcasting with single source; peers only listen and
relay packets.  Recently i did finish an internet browser.

I would like to be a part of the team that work on Tank.

I did develop a component that do swarm download with mutliples =
connections per source for my browser i could
probably with some modification brings this component in Tank.  It's =
threaded and use Indy code for TCP/IP.

I also have a new idea for p2p to allow anyone to distribute datas at =
low cost (legally).  The idea is to allow distributors/content provider =
to fix a unique code on invidual file.  For example, if John X write a =
song and send this song in the network, if someone download the file,  =
the user should receive (if the gnutella client support this) a banner: =
"Thank for checking my file I'm John if you want the rest of my music, =
click here" ...  This could add a touch of legality to the network ;-) =
and of course create some revenus for developer of gnutella client, more =
revenus =3D better network, more users, more, etc.

I also think that gnutella 0.6+ should support BZIP compression and =
packet merging (send packet per block instead of one by one).

See ya,

Marc.
