• One-Click Proxy Server – ES5 provides users with the instant ability to transmit and download via a “proxy server.” Not to be confused with a corporate firewall/proxy/socks proxy, ES5 allows users to send connection requests through intermediary proxy servers located throughout the world so that the download destination of a file cannot be traced by any entity whatsoever.
• SSL – Secure Sockets ö Ensures that the agents of the Evil Empire cannot monitor a userâs uploading or downloading activity. When a user downloads a file, ES5 will provide the user the option to automatically deploy SSL by right clicking. The only negative side effect is that SSL causes the download to be slower due to processing overhead.
• UDP – User Datagram Protocol – It is not possible to reliably scan UDP so Big Brother cannot examine a userâs computer to determine if ES5 is running, unless they themselves are connecting to the ES5 network. However, it is not possible to batch scan computers at random to establish if ES5 is in operation on a userâs computer.
• ES5 Security Key – ES5 utilizes a standard HTTP server to transmit files, but deploys a special “security key” so than only ES5 users can access your shared files.
• IP Addresses – ES5 does not display user IP Address information on downloading or uploading.
• Dynamic Ports. Each ES5 node uses a randomly chosen port (unless the user chooses a specific port themselves). Therefore, ISPâs will be unable to “shape” traffic based upon port numbers ö a method that some ISPâs have deployed to throttle bandwidth because P2P traffic was bogging down their entire network.
• User Defined Port Settings. ES5 provides users with ăone-clickä port setting options for ES5 to use port 53 (the port used by DNS) or port 37 (the port used by time service) therefore rendering all blocking attempts hopeless.
• Multiple Points of Entry. ES5 uses multiple methods for connecting to the ES5 network including IP Multicast, Usenet Articles, Web Sites, Node List Files and a several other undisclosed methods that even the Forces of the Evil Empire will be unable to stop.
• No Scan. No entity can scan an ES5 userâs computer to determine if ES5 is running because ES5 does not use well known port numbers. The agents of the Evil Empire will be unable to effectively examine traffic at a central router to easily pinpoint ES5 traffic. To do so will require an enormous amount of time, money and effort.
• UDP Not Easily Blocked by ISPs. ISPâs are beginning to use the “you will not run a server” covenant in their contracts to block or throttle incoming TCP connections to stop what they consider to be P2P bandwidth wasters. They cannot block UDP (User Datagram Protocol) as easily because UDP has no “direction”.
• Penetrating Firewalls. UDP allows seamless penetration of firewalls without inconvenient setting of firewall parameters. For users behind firewalls, ES5 uses UDP to request a PUSH, where the behind-the-firewall computer initiates the connection back to the requested userâs computer. If both computers are behind firewalls that are blocking ES5 ports, then no transport is possible between them ö however ES5âs advanced Search procedure will automatically filter out those situations so the user will never encounter this situation.
• Identifying IP Addresses. ES5 does not display user IP Address information on downloading or uploading. Itâs nobody’s business and is information too vital to fall into enemy hands.
• The Green Light. ES5 has VERIFIED files. Certain trusted users are allowed to verify files. These verified files have a small green light next to them when appearing in a search list. Verified files are those that a trusted user has reviewed and confirmed to be authentic and of high quality.
• No Waiting For More Sources. ES5 has been designed not to have “missing” files by removing bad files during the search stage. If a file is not accessible to a user for immediate download, then that file will not be listed in the search results. Nothing is more annoying that having hundreds of search results appear for your requested file and then realizing that only a few of them are readily available and the others are “waiting for more sources”.
• Wider “InterGalactic Star Searches”. – ES5âs version of ultrapeers or supernodes. To improve network efficiencies many P2P clients send out searches to only a small number of online network users that are clustered together. Other P2P clients flood the entire network with search requests that causes network congestion, consumes bandwidth and resources of other users computers and brings searches and downloads to a crawl. ES5 does not send search queues across its entire network (we call our ăuniverseä) of users/nodes (we call Îplanetsä), but searches specific groups of planets (we call ăstarsä) that are connected to the network (we call ăGalaxiesä). However, searches are not are not just limited to the Planets that are in your Star system and for each search a user initiates, an entirely new set of galaxies and stars are searched. ES5 constantly shuffles the Planets and Stars, creating new Galaxies so users are always accessing different parts of the Universe on every search. ES5 displays results on just one page, similar to other search engines, such as Google, with the most relevant results displayed first. Since ES5 displays results of authenticated ăgreen-lightedä and ready to download files only, it is not necessary to retrieve hundreds of file listings. If a user is unsatisfied with the results of their search page, a SEARCH AGAIN button automatically searches a new galaxy of stars and planets.
• Less Bandwidth Usage. ES5 uses UDP (instead of TCP) for searching its universe thereby significantly decreasing the bandwidth requirements for its users. ES5 balances the network universe automatically. Those nodes/planets that are too busy to serve files simply fail to answer to searches during their busy states as not to take up valuable search results. Nodes/planets with bad or slow Internet connections will respond less to search requests so that those slower and unreliable nodes wonât stymie users with better connections.
• User Defined Bandwidth. ES5 lets users limit the amount of bandwidth it uses so preventing it from hogging the users Internet connection.
• User-Defined Filters. ES5 has many filters that will zap virus-infected files and weed out objectionable material. Users can block particular ES5 planets that attempt to distribute bogus files or whose bandwidth is just too slow to be useful.
• Preview Files. ES5 uses standard HTTP in addition to other more advanced modes of download that permits users to “preview” a file before actually downloading it in its entirety.
• Multiple File Types. ES5 lets users search for all media types including audio, video, software, pictures and documents, not just mp3. In addition to files, ES5 user can search for people (Dating), search and browse the Internet and search Usenet archives.
• Multi-Linguistics. With translations into 28 of Earthâs most predominate languages, users can configure their ES5 client in their native language and searchers can specify a particular Language and Country if so desired.
• Standard Performance Enhancements. ES5 has incorporated all the advanced P2P file sharing technologies that any reputable client must have today including concurrent segmented downloads / swarm downloading, auto-resume downloads, multiple searches simultaneously and metadata support.
