What would be your suggestions on making Napster a more network friendly app? Certainly it would be easier to queue it if it only used one port for client->client transfer, but the problem is that there's no way to know if that port would be in use. Also, for people behind firewalls you need to tunnel in sometimes (of course, that works only a small portion of the time). I don't know what the numbers look like, but it may be the case that just queueing up the default data port would catch some large percentage of the Napster file transfering. Anyway, if there are constructive suggestions, we're all ears. -Michael On Tue, Mar 07, 2000 at 11:48:25AM -0500, Scott McGrath wrote: --snip-- > for which it is purchased for.
