The software itself doesn't rely on swarmcast.net itself once it installed. The 'swarmcast.net' part of the domain is simply ignored and the source URL is whats actually used. As far as people that don't have Swarmcast installed, there are probably some tricks we could do with "image pings" and Javascript to tell if swarmcast.net was up before rendering the link. Just brain storming here, but in fact, you could even keep your links as original (http://blip.tv/....) links then "patch" them using a trick that either Lucas Gonze or Gordon Mohr came up with for Magnet links. This patch code could ping swarmcast.net (or any other site) to make sure its up and only use the link if the site is actually working. This concept really has nothing to do with Swarmcast and could be used for any URLs, so for a vblogger with some Javascript skills, you could dynamically figure out which URL to use for your videos. If I have some free time next weekend, perhaps I'll code something up. -Justin ------------------------ Yahoo! Groups Sponsor --------------------~--> Fair play? Video games influencing politics.
