is it really necessary to have a server computer for a program like Napster? i mean...if you could make it server independent, then the courts couldnt shut you down
if you really think about it, a server computer for a program like Napster really only speeds up search time...but it couldnt be by that much....
with a server computer, you can flag every computer that is logged on and make searches fast...but without a server, you have to search every IP address on the internet...
unless you could figure out a way
all you really have to do is keep a list of all logged on IP addresses in a text file...
you could keep that on a geocities server if you wanted to...
just some thoughts...
