HFS ~ HTTP File Server / Re: HFS 3: work in progress
« on: May 23, 2012, 08:23:19 AM »good news everyone!
the project is somewhere around 1% now
I could made some tests, and i want you to know that this brand new version (tho at an early stage) is already showing some BIG advantages brought by the new technology it is built upon:
- unicode file names supported
- much easier: no more need to choose between real and virtual folders, just one powerful folder
- administration accessible over the net
- max throughput triplicated *
Not bad for a 1%, is it?
Now i need to call you to arms!
If i do this project alone it won't hit 100% before 1 or 2 more years.
I'm searching for tough javascript programmers willing to help.
Anyone?
*the measuring has been done by downloading with wget in local. Version 2.3 reached 35MB/s while version 3 sported a glorious 126MB/s. No improvement is expected for slow internet connections: if you already are hitting the limit of your own internet connection don't dream about overcoming it. I cannot yet tell what will be the real gain for fast networks, we'll see.
IMO, if let it as Open Source and let everyone to commit at github might help.
