Oops! My bad. I thought Ian said smallish files were OK a while back.
Depends if you mean cable modem small or cell-phone slow, I guess.

I was probably being unclear. The problems would emerge in the
encryption process. Decryption is pretty hard to do wrong, right?

I was sure I messed it up somehow. There's always a chance, of course.

Maybe this would be useful. Files could be encrypted to disk with a
password, and only decrypted when you actually need them. I don't know,
is there really a demand for this kind of thing?

How about staganography?

HTL 1? Wow. I thought it wouldn't propogate then. Sure shows my
understanding of the protocol.

You removed the period at the end, right? My box was down for a few
hours a couple times, though.

Alright, I just updated the code. Subspaces insert with htl=1, random
numbers are properly seeded with time(0), the new client names are used,
stdout and stderr are disconnected, and there's still a horrible kludge
involving a fork() where threads should be used and the related
problems.

You changed the format of the "Inserted Key:" message, didn't you? One
less space padding in front? Whatever, it works now.

Oh, and the password fields don't reset after the button's pressed. This
is a feature if you want to launch 100 transfers. Otherwise it sucks.
But if you're that concerned you'll remember to clear it, right? Oh
well.

Version 0.2.1 is up at:

ftp://24.131.186.16/

I don't have a reliable webserver, but who cares when you can just use:

freenet:SSK at bakunin-0.2.1.tar.gz,oNOwzscVwsgmAUsofeZKSvjG3SACAQ !
