purpose a new mirror sheme for your software distributions ;)

Hi, i work on a standard sheme to permit to purpose your files with best QoS, are you interested for this ?

Metalink makes downloading easier, faster, and more reliable.

* Standard format for listing multiple mirrors for redundancy and/or automatic accelerated (segmented) downloads.
* Combines FTP and HTTP with Peer-to-peer (P2P, shared bandwidth).
* Automatic checksum verification; No separate MD5/SHA-1 file or manual process for integrity verification.
* Stores more descriptive and useful information for software distribution.
* Automatic load balancing distributes traffic so individual servers are under less strain.
* Makes the download process simpler for users (automatic selection of language, Operating System, location, etc).

A lot of software can read metalinks, you can see more info about our project at

I don't think so. Our individual mirror providers need a certain degree of exposure to generate some revenue from the visiting downloaders. Hiding them behind a Metalink would destroy this concept, I suppose. :sad:
