How Many People Would Like A Webupdate For K-lite

[Hasnain]

Hi Friends,
I am working on a new update feature for Kazaa Lite. it will have the following features:

1. CRC checking of the old and the new file, to ensure even small resource changes are available.
2. Filesize verification.
3. Ability to pick the updates.
4. Ability to choose from a list of available mirrors.
5. Multi threaded operation.
6. Customisable memory for downloading updates.
7. Description for each component of the download.
8. Ability to see which date the download/update was posted.
9. Ability to mark an update as critical, or not.

In order to implement this, I will need the following:
1. A fast server w/ FTP access, so that I can upload a small text file to it. I cant do it on my server, because it will insert its own ad text into all ascii files.
2. I should be able to upload the core Kazaa files to the server. So atleast 5-8MB of server space.

I would be using this server for testing purposes only. Not much bandwidth would be utilised. Please do not suggest a free server. Most of them are useless. I need someone to give me some space and FTP access on a personal server.

Hasnain.

Use Sorceforge.net.

That would not allow personal projects. Besides, this project is limited to K-Lite, and they have very strict criterias for choosing which project to approve, and which not.

An update feature... that would be cool. I'm lookin forward to it. :dribble:

[Hasnain]

[EDIT]: It still lives!

That would be cool!!! :-)

All you need is a hosting with FTP connection right? I know most Free hosts are crap but there are ones that are good. I know one that i use a lot for just image storage. Fast ftp, no additional text to the file.

[Hasnain]

Well, most hosts won't allow HTTP connections from within applications, and the download will just fail. I need some host that will allow HTTP connections from apps. I tried downloading a file from within my app, from one of Edskes' servers, and it worked. Doesn't work on my own server :(

How would you compare the versions, CGI like Jock Whiteside said? I think PHP would be better than CGI/Perl.

[dwightfry]

This would KICK ASS!!! Please don't drop it.

I can set you up with some webspace, I would prefer to speak over MSN. Please post your MSN or some other way I could get in contact with you. :).

[Hasnain]

The links to my msn/yahoo id's are at the bottom of my posts :)
MSN: [email protected]
Yahoo: code8k

[D4rkwind]

I've added you on MSN, waiting for you to accept me :).

Although it might seem like a stupid idea on my part, why not consult Jon about temporarily using part of the forum's server for a test run?

We've got a new server for the forum, not everyone knows about it, and this would directly benefit K-Lite in general. That, and now is probably the only time I've seen Jon active so this is probably the only chance you'll get :D

Just a thought :)

[timeisntreal]

I wouldnt mind giving you access to my server.. i added you to my MSN [email protected] soo ya

I could lend you some of my ISP webspace. They give me like 80 MB, I think. I haven't used it yet. I have Earthlink Cable.

[Hasnain]

Thanks for the help guys. The project is dead as of now for various reasons.

[mogadishu]

this is free..... www.hostultra.com would that work.....i know you said no free servers :blink:

[thedirtyd]

this is free..... www.hostultra.com would that work.....i know you said no free servers

that only lets you upload files up to 1 meg. it says anything larger will be deleted.

[quentarez]

I can give you access to an ftp server if you desire.. I added you to my contact list for MSN.. i am [email protected]

[kool2zero]

i kno u said free hosts were bad, bur check out virtualave.net... also check the host k-lite uses - host.sk

[imported_Catracho]

I use comcast.net as a ISP provider. They give me a 25MB storage so if you want I can let u store files there....email me or pm me if u are interested :-). This is a good idea
