I am working on a project that easily and automatically uses Mirrors and
segmented downloading.
Basically, it is an XML file for storing the many links for a file (FTP,
HTTP, P2P - BitTorrent especially). As you can imagine, this is very useful
for accelerated downloading with download managers & balancing load between
servers.
It is being added to FlashGot, a Firefox extension, (which can pass URLs on
to many other downlod managers) & GetRight (another download manager)
now, but I would like for more people to hear about it. Some people who
run kernel.org are interested too.
Here's a link & some examples: http://home.comcast.net/~albryan/metalink/
I'd be interested in any comments you have.
thanks,
ant
