(http://www.squeaksource.com/DGV)

I put the latest&greatest of the whole shebang (Datagram Toolkit, Gossip,  
and the DGV project) on SqueakSource. On the Gossip and lower layers not  
much has changed; the DGV stuff however has been overhauled quite a bit  
and now is completely peer-to-peer based. Of interest to the casual p2p  
freak is especially the DGV-Network Service package. It has 'swarm  
download' (DGVBlobTransfer), distributed data services, p2p event  
notification.

'DGV' can be loaded in any ol' Squeak image. DGVwxUI will only load in a  
wxSqueak image.

There's a new Tric-P2P package that matches prerequisites with the DGV  
stuff.

Biggest issue at this moment is that UDP quickly breaks down with higher  
traffic volumes under Win32, it seems (Linux works fine, but when  
sending/receiving lots of UDP packets things go wrong under Win32 -  
something's rotten in the Win32 socket plugin?). Top priority item for  
next week :)

Have fun,

Cees
