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...

Could magnet uris include a file size tag or something? It could be used to check that a file is the right size. It could also be used by websites, such as...
If IE and Netscape support magnets (which they do) then the burden is clearly on Opera to also support this sort of protocol. They should not need any...
