Machsend - P2P file sharing in the browser
- aaadddeeeaaa 17y agoI think it's pretty widely accepted that P2P doesn't just mean point-to-point transfers. :/
- surki 17y agoany idea how NAT traversal is done?
- maccman 17y agoThere's a paper explaining here: http://nutss.gforge.cis.cornell.edu/pub/imc05-tcpnat.pdf http://nutss.gforge.cis.cornell.edu/pub/imc05-tcpnat.pdf I think that might make a good blog post.
- surki 17y agoI was asking how they are doing it from browser. But it appears that we need to install a local client :(
- maccman 17y agoYou need to install BrowserPlus - but that's an in-browser installation (without a restart) and is fairly seamless. During the beta you also need to download/install a BP plugin. This is only because Yahoo haven't signed the plugin - and will install automatically when they have.
- est 17y agoYahoo BrowserPlus, works with about 85% of routers
- pqs 17y agoYahoo! BroserPlus does not work in GNU/Linux. It supports: Windows XP & Vista * Internet Explorer 6 & 7 & 8 * Safari 3.x & 4.x * Google Chrome * Mozilla Firefox 2 & 3 Mac OSX intel 10.4.11 or newer * Safari 3.x & 4.x * Mozilla Firefox 2 & 3
- maccman 17y agoYes, it's a shame. Best thing to do is ask Yahoo to support it.
