Hi, I just joined the Group =) I love the MAGNET-URI, and Bitzi, and Shareaza. Why isn't there support for multiple sources for links? Is that coming soon?...
PROBLEM: When a user clicks a MAGNET link from a website, which adds itself as a source (xs), it starts up in the Gnutella client and begins downloading from...
... Thanks! ... Hmm; I agree with you that this is valuable, and it was intended to be possible by specifying multiple 'xs' or 'as' substitutes for a main...

... That's a contrived and senseless example; a more relevant example might be parts 1 and 2 of a video series, or a collection of audio tracks that all make...
... I like the idea of a "fallback" source. (I didn't read that anywhere...) This is similar to what I suggested. Not nessassarly do I wish for a "WAIT"...
-1, if you can't rely on your peer to properly fall back for you, then don't use the peer. This type of fine-grained control is best left out of Magnet. ...

-1, Even if "group" or "set" URIs are a useful concept, they should be a part of a different URI spec, not Magnet. If you want to group things together, use...

... Yes. Nothing wrong with it in my mind. I think you need a way to address the case of only a few sources as well as the case of complex compound references...
Now that Kazaa has added "Kazaa Playlists" -- .kpl files, with a list of other files inside -- it seems a good time to discuss and settle on an official format...

Agreed. I think SMIL and RSS should contain most everything you need. But then again, I always prefer to slightly tweak existing standards rather than...

Let's say magnet link contains only the hash. Fine, software that knows how to search for that hash enables user to eventually get that file. Now, if magnet...
Gordon, Hi. I wanted to get your input on a different type of Javascript that I came up with to handle magnet URI. As you know, LimeWire is cross platform so...
You're pretty much describing the Magnet URLs used by JivePlayer. Take a look at them here: http://www.limewire.com/magnet/magnet-uri-detect.html Shareaza and...
Thanks. You are absolutely right! Knowing the file size from the magnet link is, in contrast, a minor programming convenience issue when preparing for a...
