What the hell is this?
 

I check my awstats and notice people are browsing through this site...

http://coralcdn.org/

what the hell is that?

Yeah it's those fucking dutch hotlinkers

Coral is peer-to-peer content distribution network, comprised of a world-wide network of web proxies and nameservers. It allows a user to run a web site that offers high performance and meets huge demand, all for the price of a $50/month cable modem.

Think that explains it.

i don't get it though?

sounds like an NYU peer to peer project.

Jim

so is that like bad?

They specialize in cracking open your directories for all the world to see. Get it now?

LIKE sounds like it :winkwink: :thumbsup

Basically a ton of people run a small webserver software on their computer. When someone goes to access your site via the nyud.net:8090 link it caches that page on indidividual's webservers and then next time recalls them from the peer-to-peer servers instead of hitting the original domain each time.

So you could advertise your site as domain.nyud.net:8090 and people would get to your site without using your bandwidth each time.

That's the way i understand it anyway.

Interesting concept.

ahhh that's all good then...
