A bit late - just got notified that this was discussed. I wrote most of the P2P code of that project; I'm not doing a lot of Smalltalk anymore, so the code is sort of orphaned, but I'd be more than willing to help advise people on how to use it.
The conclusion that this library is specifically made to work under very adverse circumstances is correct. The project at hand, "Digital Society of the Past", was meant to create a P2P network of historians (amateur and professional) exchanging their archives through this package. So our main use case was people behind crappy cable connections :-). So if your focus is overlay networks with gossip-style protocols, I'd probably look at something like Hashicorp's Serf instead (link it in or port it); if you really want to do napster-style file sharing, this library may be a decent starting point. Hth, Cees (ping me preferably on my personal mail, casedeg at everyone's favorite email provider, Gmail, because I'm often way lax when it comes to catching up with mailing ists). -- View this message in context: http://forum.world.st/distributed-peer2peer-sharing-app-in-Pharo-tp4855144p4884506.html Sent from the Pharo Smalltalk Users mailing list archive at Nabble.com.
