IceShare

IceShare is a P2P system for Ogg multimedia.

How It Works

Clients use the to connect to a Tracker and make a request for a file. This file must already be known by the client and is typically supplied to the client by a URL, such as icet://127.0.0.1/something.ogg.

The Tracker, knowing which other IceShare Clients have the file already, will send the new Client to one or more other Clients for specific pieces of the file they've requested. The new Client verify pieces of the stream with the Tracker as they are received, and thereby, inform the Tracker that they can now help send that file to other Clients.

This is a stub that will be completed at a later date.
