Feature Request: Mirrors

#1 Post by lnozot » 2008-12-04 18:53

I enjoy using FZ and have just started using FZ Server. The server has worked well for a quick setup for net backups and installs.

The feature I would like to see in the client is an extension of the multiple connections. A tool I love is Prozilla. It is a linux only tool that will search for mirrors of large files and directories by creating multiple connections to a separate hosts. I guess this is probably somewhat overrun by bittorrent but not all large file downloads have been configured for bittorrent and directory structures like linux distributions or applications are generally not configured under bittorrent.

I have noticed that prozilla has not been updated in a few years. It might be possible to merge their mirror search functionality into FZ.

Thanks!
