- erhysen, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0It looks like everyone who downloads the file has to install the software. From your FAQ: "People will need to install Dijjer to receive that feed"
I'm sorry, but that really just seems like it will kill any podcast that tries to use it. - laurentlasalle, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0I don't understand... Everybody who will subscribe to your podcast through iTunes will need to install this?
- merlik, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0why not just use ourmedia.org?
- wakaseoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Ourmedia does not surf on the wave of peer-to-peer technologies, does it?
As for bittorrent, you need a tracker. The resource can "disappear" if the tracker is dead or if there is no more seeder.
Like bittorrent (and unlike ourmedia), the content is distributed. Like ourmedia (and unlike bittorrent) the content is available (as long as the http resource exists). Best of both worlds? - Winker, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Interesting review at http://www.livejournal.com/users/huginnandmuninn/12792.html
- konrad, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Why not just use bittorrent/ourmedia?
- maccise, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Skip ourmedia.org, upload straight to http://www.archive.org/
Works like a charm! ^_^ - wakaseoo, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0yes indeed, you need a (java-based) client/server, exactly like for any peer-to-peer technology
- mastershake, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0it works by if anyone has this crap installed on their computer and they happen to download something that happens to have this dijjer link on it, then they upload some of it to the person downloading it from the link
- ZicklePop, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Because bittorrent only works if people seed your podcast. Chances of John Doe seeding for you = none.
- DannoHung, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0Does anyone know specifically how this works?
- dcinrhode, on 10/12/2007, -0/+0anybody try this yet?
