Compromize: - Have a convenient way to add a download to the queue from inside fproxy, replacing the current splitfile form. - Notify the user (low priority notification, shows up on the main web interface page, clients can read them too) when there are completed files in the completed-downloads directory. User can then delete them etc, or third party clients can read them and then have the node zap them. - Web interface provides a simple list of queued files with progress bars, transfer rate, size etc. > > Ian. -- Matthew J Toseland - toad at amphibian.dyndns.org Freenet Project Official Codemonkey - http://freenetproject.org/ ICTHUS - Nothing is impossible.
