i l l m a t i c Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Rodi is a small-client P2P application, written in Java, that improves on BitTorrent by allowing both content searches and full anonymity. It’s released under the General Public License (GNU). The client can be accessed here. Even your IP address can be hidden using Rodi through a process called "bouncing." That is, if A wants a file from B, they get C to agree to stand-in on the exchange. B gets C’s IP address, not A’s. Through IP Spoofing A can even hide their identity from C. Rodi can also be used from behind corporate firewalls and LANs using Network Address Translation (NATs), something most home gateways have. The person behind Rodi (the name means pomegranate in Greek) identifies himself only as LaryTet, an Israeli male living in Tel Aviv. He is publicizing his creation because he wants some help, both financial and technical, in making the user interface something that anyone can use. http://blogs.zdnet.com/open-source/index.php?p=303
Agozer Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Hmm... This might be an excellent solution, but we won't know for sure until l somebody has tried it. The only problem I currently have with Rodi is that it's pure Java. On a related note, Bram Cohem finished the beta of the new trackerless BitTorrent not that long ago.
Gryph Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 I just read about this at Slashdot and it's very intruiging. I'll be keeping my eyes open on this.
Wizard Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Bittorrent now has the trackless torrents. I sense more VS related topics to come between these two. One counter point is Rodi is java. 100% Java. RUN AWAY!
Gryph Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Yeah...that's the reason I don't use Azureus because it uses flocking Java.
Wizard Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 (edited) Yeah...that's the reason I don't use Azureus because it uses flocking Java.<{POST_SNAPBACK}>Az is very good, but yeah, the java thing bugs me. But it's the only good BT program besides the offical client that doesn't rapes my computer of EVERYTHING. Edited June 1, 2005 by K`dash
ken_cinder Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Nothing, these guys are just teh toolz. Azureus is numero uno for BT clients, period, end of story.
Gryph Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Bitcomet serves me just fine. And doesn't take up 100 mb of memory.
Agozer Posted June 1, 2005 Posted June 1, 2005 Bitcomet serves me just fine. And doesn't take up 100 mb of memory.BitComet, ABC and/or Shadow's Experimental/official for the wins.
