BuddyCast3
This version of BuddyCast adds ratings, comments, faster .torrent collecting, access to more content due to RSS subscription integration, and superior scalability.
They key problem that we will solve with BuddyCast3 is the slow speed of peer/content discovery and limited scalability. The slow collection of .torrent files means new content takes hours to discover. The scalability problem is due to the limit of 50 hashes in a BuddyCast2? profile. This version will remove this limit. The initial version of BuddyCast was made in a very conservative manner. BuddyCast2? improved the original by only exchanging correct information of online peers. With version 3 we build further upon this operational system.
