I know that lack of a progress bar is a problem, but please note that it's a prototype I built in my spare time.

I used theora because I wanted a free video codec.

The bittorrent client is coded by myself with help and support from a friend, the video codec is jheora from fluendo, it also uses jogg and jorbis from jcraft.

Thank you for sharing your thoughts.

1) You're right: It's bad, but in order to open connections to different clients it needs a signed applet. I also considered a custom plugin but I thought forcing a user to install it could be ever worse. Do you have any better idea?

2) True, will remove it.

I think reducing publisher's costs could lead to benefits even for consumers, I'm thinking about hd videos.

I wrote my little web app without caring about scaling. Now it has about 20000 visitors a day and an average of 8 request per second. The uptime command says: load average: 0.16, 0.19, 0.15 (on a dual core machine.) Should I have any problem with the load, I think it would be feasible to find someone funding me. I understand it depends of the type of the service, but I also think that most of them could afford to think about scalability when they actually need it.

Also consider that if you write your app with a little bit of "code responsabiliy", usually when you need to scale, you have so many users that you can afford to rewrite your code thinking about scaling.

Orange names? I'm almost color blind and my LCD screen doesn't display the color in the right way, I never noticed the colors. :°(

I suppose they're Latin-origin words

They're not perfect, and I think these fifteen minutes could have been a good opportunity for other search engines: I feel good for this.

I get frustrated and pissed off even when I mispell a word typing on the iPhone.

That's a "specially designed for Googlers with a 'droid' on the back" G1!! You could resell it on ebay, et voilà, you'd get your bonus!

I wanted to learn programming when I was at the high school and I saw the first 3d games on playstation: - Wipeout - Battle Arena Toshinden - Ridge Racers

More than ten years have gone, and now I'm an almost happy R&D developer at www.milestone.it . ;)

Just tried from English to Italian, and I must admit it's quite funny

Thanks for the feedback. Good advice, definitetly.

The only problem is about the language filter: we already thought about it, but now we have only one story in english, so you wouldn't have seen anything. This is one of the first things we'll fix in the next days.

Thanks for the advice!

The only thing that makes us feel bad is the impression that we developed it without interest. We built novlet in our spare time while graduating, so we couldn't spend the time we would have liked to, however we were very interested in the project and it's a pity that it doesn't seem so.

The site was initially meant mainly as a proof that we could work togheter, but it would be great to work on it full time, but apparently they didn't even look at it.

We are not discouraged, it would have been a fantastic experience. We'll keep on working.

We provided a demo link: novlet.com, but apparently they didn't visit it.
