Sorry, but I don't see the point with this at all. If you have there IP addresses, you can already connect to them (modulo firewall issues, which will likely be a problem for Freenet as well). It is a helpful hack to get around the user hostile features of iTunes (a better way of doing which is to not use iTunes, but I digress), but beyond that what does it do? // oskar _______________________________________________ Devl mailing list Devl@freenetproject.org http://emu.freenetproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/devl
