Not Hosting The Grey Album

Wednesday, February 25th, 2004

Have LimeWire, BearShare, Shareaza, Kazaa or other MAGNET-enabled software? You might click on a MAGNET icon below. Or click on the filename for more information via Bitzi.

Why would you want to use a MAGNET-enabled program rather than using your browser to download from a web site?

  • The site might use stupid filenames, e.g., 01PublicServiceAnnouncement.mp3. A MAGNET link can specify a better name.
  • The site may have been compromised. A MAGNET link can specify a secure identifier for a file which can be used by an application to verify that the file you have is the one you expected.
  • The site may be down. Some MAGNET-enabled programs can look for the exact file elsewhere.
  • The site may be slow. By virtue of the previous feature, some MAGNET-enabled programs may be able to download from multiple sources.
  • You might already have the exact file. Many MAGNET-enabled programs can tell you this. Why bother to download again?
  • You might want to share the file with others. Some MAGNET-enabled programs will help you do this.
  • You might want to annotate or otherwise organize the file into your collection. Many MAGNET-enabled programs have such features built-in, and do a reasonable job of automatically categorizing new files.

Bitzi Bitcollider 0.6.0 with kzhash, video metadata, tiger tree fix, minimal OS X support

Monday, February 9th, 2004

As reported by Gordon Mohr at Bitzi and InfoAnarchy. I’ll add another thanks to Delirium for the video metadata extraction code, provided a year and a half ago. We need to work on that release often bit. Thanks also to Robert Kaye for cleaning up and packaging the release. If you want to be thanked in less than two years, check out the bitcollider bug and feature request tracker at sourceforge.

Anyone else, if you have files you’d like to alert (of the “it’s greeeat!” or “beware, malware” varieties) the world to, download bitcollider and use it to add said files to the Bitzi catalog.
