[IMC-Video] imc-video Digest, Vol 51, Issue 20

[hamish at riseup.net]

Hi Crew,

The is a 3ed choice that undercurrents have been using (one of
millions...) it GPL and under active development, and I think has most of
the functionality video IMC would need, most importantly it solves the
hosting problems in a practical decentralised way.

roll the drums....

http://www.vuze.com

You can find out about the project here
http://sourceforge.net/projects/azureus/
The Vuze front end is also GPL so the whole project can be taken and used.
Am not saying the corporation that is behind the commercialisation whold
like or dislike a activist version – just that as its GPL open source they
wouldn’t have any choice.

* its under active development thus we are less likely to get stuck in a
software ghetto agen.
http://sourceforge.net/project/stats/?group_id=84122&ugn=azureus

* it makes torrents as easy as normal downloads/uploads – actually it
makes them easer as they are fire and forget.

Ps found the code for vuze version of Azurase here
http://azureus.cvs.sourceforge.net/azureus/azureus3/

Some people don’t like JAVE and it dose have a hevery foot print – but
computers and getting powerfuller and I have never had problems running it
on low speck hardware (p500 with 256MB ram).

Just a 3ed choices to add to the bundle, and as it is based on gecco web
browser we could have the existing plumi/filmforge running inside of it?
