New 100% Legal Filesharing Client

[tralalala]

im sure you all remember the pinned topic in the lounge asking for a new name for the new 100% legal filesharing client... well, WHERE IS IT?? and WHEN WILL IT BE RELEASED??

7thElement... you need to get us all updated on this... ive been pulling my hairs out cos i hasd no idea when it would be released!!!!! :helpsmile: :helpsmile: :helpsmile: :crazy:

:lol:

The SwapGate development has moved to another domain - the reason is that the Private & hidden SG Beta Testing forums were disrupting a lot of the board. SG has its own phpBB board which all current & upcoming beta testers have/will have access to. I'll leave posting its location to 7th as I'm sure if he wants it made public at this time :)

As for the program - Beta 5 has just been released, so it should show that a lot of work has been done :) But it's still not ready for public release yet :(

There's no point in any testers giving out the beta, as each beta version carries an authentication system that is unique to each machine and can only got from 7th :lol: However, it HAS been a long time since last heard of here - I'll prepare some current screenshots within the next few hours :) Just don't expect a P2P ambrosia just yet :D

[Wizard_Mon1]

yay - ambrosia :P

[<TROUBLE^MAKER>]

Several countries courts including the US have ruled filing sharing perfectly legal, it&#39;s the manufacturing and distributing of copy Righted material that&#39;s illegal.

[TARPD]

i found an e-mule hash at a website that frowns on file sharing so much their faces have imploded.

sorry, i just wanted to say imploded and found it wierd cos the hash was at one of those sites that are like gamespy and stuff

[Pitbul]

if someone came out with a decent high speed P2P client that had good security and hide all of your info, do you have any idea how pissed the MPAA and RIAA would be? i pray someone comes out with it. :01: i would download more then usuall just to piss them off.

Sorry about that - I had to sort out some important stuff last night and didn&#39;t have the time :( That, and I need to see 7th about releasing shots - He decides what gets released, not me :) and its not been the first time where I&#39;ve asked him whether to release shots or not ;)

[7thElement]

A few impressions

http://www.swapgate.com/impressions/impressions.html

That&#39;s all until we release :)

[DanB]

That looks good 7th. :)

Any ideas on a release date yet? :unsure:

[tralalala]

looks confusing... :unsure:

will kazaa-ignite work with it?
will it have all the users of Kazaa on it too?
does it have a built in speed-up programme in it?

it&#39;s actually very easy to use once you get past the intial startup...

it&#39;s no harder to use than kazaa really :)

[7thElement]

Nope it is not related with kazaa at all. The fasttrack network is not the best one if it comes to sharing.

I cannot answer more questions as we are busy with the development (own protocol too)

The screenshots are the only thing that we can post for now. No additional details are available until released.

wait a second... if its not related to Kazaa at all, then there will hardly be any files on there... right?

users - there will be a tiny ammount
files - a small ammount
speeds - thats something i was gonna ask before :P :lol:

tralalala
I think is based on Openap protocol if i remember. (http://opennap.sourceforge.net/)

[7thElement]

The current client supports opennap (meaning there is a userbase to start with).

Look at the screenshots how many (only connected to 7 / 1000&#39;s of servers) and you will see that there are enough users :)

However... the final product will use our own protocol (not based on opennap) and the opennap protocol as additional resource.

[tralalala]

ummm, ok 7th... whatever you say... :unsure: its just i aint too good with these things... :lol:

anyway, i appreciate your hard work very muh, and i am looking forward to the final product. :)

[Pitbul]

it seemed kinda slow :( it was only going a few KB/s or is this due to few sources and dial up?

does it work ANYTHING like k-lite? if so, whats similar and what isnt?

tralalala
it&#39;s similar to kazaa in the way that you search for files, however, from the screenshots, you can see the chat interface too, which is similar to Soulseek...

it&#39;s hard to explain without giving specifics, which 7thElement obviously doesn&#39;t want to do at this time, so it looks like you&#39;ll have to wait (can&#39;t say release date)...or become a beta-tester :)

[dwightfry]

can&#39;t say release date

So, do they have one in mind, or are there still things they are working on so they don&#39;t know?

I have a few questions:

1) It would interest me who first have had the idea for SG?
2) ... and who are the programmers? Only 7th? I don&#39;t think R_Nut is one of them?
3) When it will be released will the Source Code be as well published as Open Source? It would help to push developement if everyone contributes a little s seen
on other OS Projects.

On the Screenshots I saw over 50000 Users? All beta testers?

I don&#39;t think so - you are relying to an OpenNap Server, I think.

I don&#39;t that SG Beta already has 50.000 Users only using SG Beta.

I think 7th is joking a little bit and connecting to Opennap, ey, but what is wrong with that?

OpenNap is cool as there are many small servers - I was a server in a Network called ballad one time - with ppl and with chats...

[tralalala]

well... there isnt another choice than connecting to other networks with people on it because startiing a new network from scratch would take quite a while to build up (the 70,000 forum members ARENT enough).

so, connecting to another network is nothing to be ashamed of...


actually, i think that if they make one that connects to another network and release it, then they can start on the same programme, but connecting to its own network...
