Bob the Cob & other tails

I just wanted to point out I noticed today that bandnet.org is the top result when searching Google for ‘bandnet.’

TBH I don’t know how it came about. Has more links to it than other sites, I guess.

The new site itself is progressing. I’ve been concentrating on the artist profiles a lot and adding features. Of course, this is where the main focus will be.

My intended focus this week is on uploads/downloads.

On the download front there’s a great project out there, I’ve forgotten the name of, that is a Gnutella client in your web browser. It should be good for allowing people to download quickly (i.e. via Gnutella) without needing special software. OTOH its unlikely to be kept open once the download completes to allow others to download the file. This is one reservation I have about BitTorrent - availability decreases over time.

The best course of action is to encourage people to use a filesharing client with at least Gnutella support, although preferably Gnutella2, and keep it open. Encouragement could come in the form of using available methods of testing (for example, http://home.no.net/tgrumpy/ct/dex.php) and reward users that keep their clients open. Somehow…
