What about Gopher? Will nobody think of Gopher?
- badsectoracula 10y agoActually i thought about Gopher (i even have my own client - http://runtimeterror.com/tools/gopher/ http://runtimeterror.com/tools/gopher/ - although it only does text) since it basically behaves as FTP++ with abstract names (sadly most modern gopherholes treat it as hypertext lite by abusing the information nodes). Gopher generally avoids most of FTP's pitfalls and it is dead easy to implement.
- kevin_thibedeau 10y agoAt least there's still Jigdo.
- dmoreno 10y agoAs a side note, there was a nice podcast about Gopher a few days ago at Techstuff [1] [1] http://shows.howstuffworks.com/techstuff/what-was-gopher.htm http://shows.howstuffworks.com/techstuff/what-was-gopher.htm
