Fixing the download mirrors @ GCW...

[b9AcE]

Sounds like a great idea to me.

As for the problem with old files not being available, how about enabling HTTP-download of files when they become unavailable on the ed2k-network?
I see several ways to do this:

1. A pure timelimit. After a fixed time (like a couple of months) the file will be made available on the HTTP-mirrors wether it is still available on ed2k-network or not.

2. Some reporting-system where people can click a button to report that the file is no longer available on ed2k-network (possibly another button for "yes, it's available)
and when enough people have clicked "not available" it will be made available by HTTP.

3. The most advanced way would be to have some script do a search for complete sources of the files on ed2k-network, record how long ago it saw a complete source
and if it passes a preset timer (like a week) it will enable HTTP-download.

I'd definately go for number three if someone could implement it.
Unfortunately I am not a coder, so I can't help with implementation, just thought I'd supply some suggestions...

Edit: Just wanna stress the point of complete sources if someone decides to go for method #3.
I think we all know how annoying it is that jigle only reports "a source", but that source may have just 2 percent of the file.
That does not really help anyone...
