Re: [Gimp-web] Adding Sharefest as an alternative download method

[Alec Burgess <buralex gmail com>]

Hi Hadar
Saw your post on Gimp-Web-list gnome org
I gave it a try on Chrome.
First copied a small file from one PC to another of mine - worked fine.
Currently d/l'ing the GIMP exe to both PC's ... a little later ... 
worked fine - currently shows [Connected to 2 peers]

Suggestion - it would be "nice" if user gets to select destination on 
his PC before starting rather than at completion (possibly even 
pre-allocate the file as can be done with uTorrent et.al.) so the user 
can allow the transfer to complete unattended rather than having to 
select destination at end). Note: - this may be because I've set Chrome 
to always request download location but I don't think the two s/b 
incompatible.

I'm a GIMP-user not a developer so can't put the link on GIMP.org but 
looks like a good idea to me. I guess the Iframe you speak of would show 
the number of current peers? NEAT.

Is your request to put the link/iframe on gimp.org a commitment on your 
part to keep your end up 24/7 for foreseeable future and to update to 
newer versions as they get issued?

Note: I tried to use IRC (as "alec"). I appear to show up on the irc 
page but can't figure out how to actually communicate with any of the 
others shown as logged in. ... later ... resolved but no-one responding 
to me ...
