Of course hours were wasted while looking for elusive problems. ![]() So there's a real problem and a real solution. Interestingly, the solution didn't originate within Apple or Microsoft. Mostly because it's not really their problem. They can afford to pay for their bandwidth. Their biggest problem is how to suck even more money from the costumers, user convenience is secondary. In a way it's a shame because this technology would have the greatest impact when integrated with the OS. Otherwise gaining widespread usage will be tough since such tools have acute chicken-egg-problems. Both those who provide and those who download must start using BitTorrent for the system to work. But neither has incentive to do it given that the other party is not ready. One way to bootstrap usage of BitTorrent would be through enlighten self-interest of some large-scale provider of downloadable files. There are quite a few of those e.g. SourceForge, ibiblio, PalmGear, many places that offer shareware/freeware software. They pay huge bandwidth bills. Why not make BitTorrent usage mandatory (or offer it as an option, promising better download speeds)? My prediction is that sooner or later similar technology will be widely used. It might not be BitTorrent but it will be something. It just makes a lot of sense. ![]() Of course hours were wasted while debuging mysterious problems.function myUrlDecode( $str ) { $res = urldecode( $str ); $res = str_replace( "\\'", "'", $res ); $res = str_replace( '"', '"', $res ); return $res; } ![]()
