Nullsoft WASTE

nullsoft released waste and i was wondering who to benefit from it. i think we could use it instead of irc (and open a channel there) and also as somekind of avs p2p.

Looks alright, but mIRC is good enough for me.

well see what happens.. see what features come about..
Because it is open source/binary, it will probably explode into a very popular platform. Plus, it is more adaptable to AVSers because of the file sharing/browsing aspect.

"Firewall issues become moot as messages are routed to the appropriate party through other hosts.

You can imagine that this will be music to alot of peoples ears.

[edit] im all for setting up an AVSers channel/group/whatever

I suggest you guys use mIRC-friendly and easy and customizable-and give Undernet a shot...That network is big,user friendly and #avs is free 😁 We can register it and make that channel the primary avs chat channel.

oh god...more fragmentation

I think that we should try to LIMIT the sites we use. So much easier.

...in case you haven't noticed, there is that #FINNISH-FLASH that BOTH of you frequent already...besides that i heartily agree with m2k, the last thing we need is another avs site/chan floating around.

that 'avs p2p' idea sounds really cool, and i think that it's up to each one of us which site to use. WASTE would be kinda different from those sites cause it's real-time... that's what i think.

yeah but isnt finnish flash going to brake up ? And the chan will be purged i guess...

FYI WASTE is no more. See www.nullsoft.com/free/waste/ for more info and that is as much as I know.

I was going to lock the thread but that debate on p2p, protocols of it all can continue

(Oh and no posting linkls to the software please as they will ahve to be removed)

yegads.. how did it get onto the news so quike if it was unofficial.
I though you would have had to release some promo shit to get that sort of responce.

So when is the real WASTE arriving?

Meanwhile, i think #finnish-flash is good enough, #avs would be pointless seeing as we allready have an AVS dedicated channel. BTW, most of the people at finnish-flash have nothing to do with finnish flash. And plus, if finnsh-flash does die, that dont meant hte channel has to.

Even though finnish flash the team might not release anything ever again (we have 3 members "active") The channel will remain im pretty sure about that. So don't think that the death of the team will be the death of the channel.

According to the Nullsoft statement, i guess it is not so clever, posting here that you illegaly use waste, is it?

Was it not released under GPL? (Cannot be revoked)

Also, put a search in google for
Nullsoft Waste Mirror
And I'm sure you will get more than 10 results.

Would it not be fair to say it was AOLs action that cause it to be removed?

Just my 15pence worth.

I didn't ment to tell you not to use it, just thought it would'nt be the finest idea to tell everyone, especially within Nullsofts own Forum.

Dunno wheter they care or not...

Well if you search for "ILLEGAL FLAMING HAMSTER PORN" you're sure to get at least 10 results too. Rule number one for debates: NEVER use Google to back up your arguments.

Sarcasm

So Dogpile is better to use then... 😞

Laws shmaws, they differ too much between countries.

the question is if AOL can simply undo the license under which WASTE was released. they're in a similiar sitatuation as SCO right now.

The GPL cannot be revoked, but only if the distributer had the right to release it in the first place.

As far as i know, this prog found it's way onto the site by mistake, which for my understanding doesn't include any kind of license for those who redistributed it.

But i think this will be released sooner or later anyway.
