version 0.3.13 released and looks stable. this is second stable release after 0.2.10
see http://larytet.sourceforge.net/btRat.shtml
0.3.1B
...major piece of functionality - LOOK and DOWNLOAD using Rodi Hash files like this one http://larytet.sourceforge.net/rodiHash.xml
it works exactly like torrent files in the Bittorrent with some nice features
- good internet browser knows to render Rodi Hash files and dsiplay them correctly
- size of the Rodi Hash file is a fraction of torrent file
- Rodi Hash file is an ASCII file and can be sent using any email agent - no attachment is required, posted on the message board, sent using SMS
use commad shell
look startRodiHash followed by URL of the file, for example
will look for the file specifies by the file temp3.xmlCode:look startRodiHash file:///C:/temp3.xml
will run look for the file described by http://larytet.sourceforge.net/rodiHash.xml, use up to 10kBytes/s of upstream for the look, make up to 3 retrys if peer does not responseCode:look startRodiHash http://larytet.sourceforge.net/rodiHash.xml 10 3
support in GUI is coming.
This feature is important in case if you want to distribute Linux distro or you run the client in hostile environment where adversary trys to deliver fake data/data blocks
together with ability of Rodi to run as a Java applet it gives unprecedent tool for the data distribution. WEB admin posts link to the Rodi applet (~350K of binary code if includes debug info and statistics). User wishing to download Linux distro just clicks the link and loads the applet. Initialization script makes the rest. No installation is required.
Screen shots
HI , my name is Chris, I am a customer with a Canadian ISP by the name of Shaw, as some people may or may not know, Shaw has recently ( since October) started to throttle bittorrent, and any other p2p traffic on its network. Shaw said that the bittorrent traffic was becoming too much of a problem (90% of all their traffic) and people were complaining that their internet isn't fast enough, so instead of buying more bandwidth, they limited the traffic, genius. So I was pissed off, I was searching for something to help me, I wanted to keep sharing files, but that was impossible, my bittorrent speed literality went from 300kb/s to 5 kb/s, same goes with any other p2p. I came upon Rodi in a news article, I went to the site, and I was intrigued , it seemed like it had a lot of potential, and it could be the answer to my problem, I noticed that it was still in beta, so disappointed that it was not yet something I could use ( due to the lack of any users yet), I contacted Arkady and asked if he needed help with his beta testing, maybe a person with a throttled connection would help him in testing his "anti-throttling" ( made up the word my self) technology. So he helped me get set up ( I am by no means a computer whiz, but better then the average surfer) He helped me get set up, it was hard finding each others files at first because we were both behind NATs, but it was a perfect opportunity to test the NAT penetrating technology. Long story short it was a little confusing for me a non techie to understand all the commands in the command line, and I had to be told what to do. When we got around to transferring files I got blazing speeds of 300kb/s highs and 250kb/s average if I remember correctly. I am by no means qualified to asses this program on a technical level, but a potential user, my opinions were that it was a little hard for us to get set up at first, but then it was easier later, when we did file searching and publishing files and downloading, and uploading , I was very happy that I was able to get 300kb/s when all other p2p programs give me garbage speeds. If eneough people start using it it can become great maybe the greatest.
P.S.
I was asked by Arkady to post here and give feed back on what I thought of the program, what are beta testers for if not feed back.

can say too, that rodi works. have tested it at first only local at one pc but with two open clients. next i will do is a test through the lan. but i have problems connecting other rodi-nodes through internet, because there are only a few guys which want to test rodi. my ISPs firewall is a stateful firewall too. that means no one can connect to me from outside. for that reason and for further testing rodi, there are people needed which are not behind a nat or such a provider-firewal (local routers or personal firewalls are ok) and which want spend time to test rodi.
to the above mentioned post i can say only that, i have read about that test too. they reach nice speeds through this "ellacoy"-thing which prevents other to download something with bittorrent. in this test i read the first time about "ellacoya", never heard that before, and i hope they do not become start it in germany to fast. ;)

Amazing how when a new prog comes out, all the initial posts are by people who JUST signed up.
they also seem to despise capital letters, which in a way, is refreshing.
.
sry for following ot-post...
astonishingly how many people must draw the attention, nevertheless, by pointless posts to themselves.
about the sense or nonsense of capital letter, you can better discuss in other forums.
the contents of a text are also recognizable if only small letters are used.
i do not put here a passphrase, therefore there is no need for capital letters.
if it disturbs you, do not read the text.
for some late-starters, rodi isn't a new program.
and this forum isn't new for me too, but I was declined towards him,
just because here only spammer and "funny people" answer.
i am right Krell and DwarfBaby are from USA? if it so, than german news are right, the most spam comes from USA.
mfg smallFish
Hes right you know...
And here are some other interesting SPAM-related facts to consider:
* In the United States, 3.8 cans of SPAM are consumed every second.
* Hawaiians eat an average of four cans of SPAM per person per year (this is the highest SPAM consumption rate per capita in the world).
* Senator Robert Byrd of West Virginia eats a SPAM and mayonnaise sandwich three times a week.
* Nikita Krushchev credited SPAM with the survival of the WWII Russian army. Quothe the Krushchev: "Without SPAM, we wouldn't have been able to feed our army.
Rest in peace mother

"orry if I'm wrong but your response sounds kind of canned. And the way it's worded makes it sound like larytet0 and Sammael1988 are "one in the same".
i am sorry to disappoint you, but English is my 3rd language, not first and not second. i could never write something that good considering my pathetic knowledge of English grammar.
i asked Chris to post something about his experience. still this is only one thread on Zeropaid. i can not force anybody to subscribe to this thread.
"one in the same" - ZP moderator can check IP addresses. i bet that one of them in the United States, CA and the other in Canada. The third IP belongs to some ISP provider in Germany.
"they also seem to despise capital letters, which in a way, is refreshing." i rarely use cap letters. no reason to spend time for SHIFT.
i think that posting was a success - i brought some action to this thread. i apprecaite posts of all participants. thank you.
Well watever maybe there is three people associated with this post, maybe not. Maybe one persons is using different proxies, but I could care less one way or the other. Sorry if this sounds obtuse but next time get a few posts under your belt, or get someone that does, before reccomending the next life saving App.
" before reccomending the next life saving App."
these are not my words. i do not attempt to save lives and answer the questions of life and everything. i do not recommed to use Rodi. i am asking for help. if you do not have time to run the application i understand that, but who knows, the world is large and may be some people will find 2-3 hours next weekend to contact me and test the client.
"get a few posts under your belt,"
R&D and message boards are not easily live together. some people tend to spend their lives on ZP boards and some in IM and some drink alcohol and i write code. does it mean automatically that the project i develop is bad ? you apparently measure a person by number of posts on ZP board. i can name more than a couple of intelligent people who never posted on ZP.
"Sorry if this sounds obtuse "
it's pointless to sorry if you are going ahead anyway, but i appreciate your comments - they help to keep this thread at the top of the list
Breathe guys... breathe. It's not the end of the world, it's a new program. Will I try it? NO. No more harrdrive space, and no money for my cradle external... so I'll chill till I'm done with school. :icon_thum

if you have Java Environment istalled already Rodi will take 600KBytes of the diskspace. No installation, no registry files. To unistall you just delete the folder.
the other way to run Rodi is an applet . applet will require zero disk space, besides exsiting cache in your internet browser.
That's a Crock, I live in the Vancouver Area and while I had slow down around October when they upgraded their network it has since gone back to par with my BT speeds going around 150+ K
Rodi looks interesting and I like the idea of an applet proggy that does not take space

I may not have too many posts next to my name but I can assure you I'm real, I've used Rodi and it works. If you care to look, there's a recent interview posted over at IntegrityP2P, click here.

Or you can see it on p2pnet.net

Just my 2 cents: you guys should be nicer to new developers. P2P is about people connecting and sharing with people, it's easy to forget there are real developers out there, and not all of them are spammers or drama trolls.
larytet is not only a developer but a very receptive and hardworking developer who only wants to invite people to test his open source prog.
