Hi Janina, Well, if you'd like to get a bittaurant thing up ... I wouldn't mind leaving it on at times, and helping out with that. Or what about that distributed download technology. It's kind of like bittaurant, but static on the download end I was reading about this methodology that is like: ok, you download this part of the file ... And you download this part from another server, and yeh, you download this part from yet another server. So it does multithreaded downloads, but with different servers on each thread; however, it could be configured to be greedy, and use 2 or 3 threads per server, further recursively improving the download. Take care, Sina -----Original Message----- From: speakup-bounces@xxxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:speakup-bounces at braille.uwo.ca] On Behalf Of Janina Sajka Sent: Friday, January 07, 2005 10:06 AM To: Speakup is a screen review system for Linux.

This is regretable, of course, and I have some thoughts for the future. But, as far as I know, this is how things stand for now. Good luck.
