Dijjer 0018
by Ian Clarke (http://freshmeat.net/~sanity/)
About:
Dijjer is a peer-to-peer HTTP cache, designed to allow the distribution of
large files from Web servers while virtually eliminating the bandwidth
cost to the file's publisher. Dijjer is designed to be simple, elegant,
and to cleanly integrate with existing applications where possible. Dijjer
uses "UDP hole punching" to allow it to operate from behind firewalls
without any need for manual reconfiguration. Dijjer's distributed and
scalable content distribution algorithm is inspired by Freenet.
Changes:
Primary change is the addition of flow control which will dynamically
adjust bandwidth usage according to network conditions. Will now correctly
detect and alert the user if a web server cannot support Dijjer downloads.
Also a number of bugfixes and code cleanups.
Release focus: Major feature enhancements
