when your talking about URL's does that mean Xunlei only works with TCP/IP and
you can only download from those users who arn't behind a firewall or have
opened up their firewall on port 80?

As far as I know, it uses file hash as index to locate download URLs, when a
client finishes downloading, it sends file hash and URL to Xunlei's server, so
the server may associate a file hash to many URLs in different download
servers, indecating that they are the same file. When another client download a
file from a URL, it send the URL to Xunlei's server, and the server will return
to the cilent other URLs it can download in parallel. Compare to downloading
from a download server with multi-threads in parallel, downloading from many
different servers with multi-threads at the same time will be much faster.
And now, somebody told me it has supported BT protocol, but I haven't used this
function, and I don't know how it works.
BTW: Newest version FlashGet is very similar to Xunlei, but the latter works
better, I think because it has more users, that means it has more (file hash,
URL) pairs, especially in China.
2006/12/29, David Barrett <[EMAIL PROTECTED]>: Can anyone describe
what Xunlei is all about? The rumormill is suggesting Google is making a crazy
huge investment into this Chinese P2P company, but I don't know anything about
its technology.
It sounds like it started out as a download accelerator (like FlastGot) and
then added in some P2P download functionality, but I'm not sure what that
technology is like. Does it use central indexing servers? DHT? Gnutella?
Not sure.
Has anyone used it and/or studied it, and can you give your impressions?
