The download mesh is an extension to http used by Gnutella. Basically all downloaders and uploaders exchange the sources they know (just like a completely decentral BitTorrent server).
The headers are X-Alt (IPs+ports of other down- and uploaders) and X-NAlt (non working IPs+ports for preventing spam and getting offline nodes out of the mesh).
As soon as you've seen a download going from 5 sources to 400 sources in half a minute, you know its efficiency

I took a look at the page you sent. Looks like and interesting program, but how well is it supported?
|
Sadly it isn’t supported at all. It was implemented on top of LimeWire, but rejected by the limewire team. so it’s only a proof of concept (it worked quite well — at least for the tests I did back then).
This had the potential of stopping spam once and for all, so I thought it might interest you.

Actually I've done that it's just that I didn't see anything about it.

I meant my info I wrote above — sorry for not being clearer.

We want to use it as a gnutella API. Basically for download audio files and do keyword searches.

That’s great!

If I can do anything to help, please tell me. I’m no Java coder, but I have some background knowledge from supporting Phex users in here and discussing in the_gdf (the Gnutella development forum).
The current discussion in the GDF might also be interesting to you: More intelligent searches via a GGEP extension: "a AND (b OR c)"
