[Help-gnunet] Two suggested features

[Christian Muellner]

1. Collectionfiles
I was thinking about if it's better to insert single, loose ogg files of my 
cd albums or make one big bzip2 out of each.
The best idea would be a collection file like eDonkey has. So you can see 
what files are belong together. All at the same bitrate/quality is importent 
for me. And with a collectionfile you don't have to download a whole archive.

You have a directory of a cd-album.
Now you say gnunet-insert-multi to insert the files to gnunet plus a new 
created collection file from this files. In addition it write, before 
insertion, a new tag to each file, like a second description, which 
collection (or cd-album) it belongs.
A "name" option for the gnunet-insert-multi would be good to name you 
collection (the string it writes to each inserted file as "collection"-tag) 
e.g. 'Hans Wurscht - Zum Fruestueck schon Bratwurst [ogg, quality6] by oggy'

In the collection file there is all you need to download a file (CRC, Size, 
Name, Bitrate??, Videocodec??, etc etc) in future you can add a like to your 
website to automatical download a file from gnunet [browser-plugin?].

Additional more Tags in all files to insert, like Codec, Bitrate, etc.

2. Downloading from multiple hosts
I think all files are downloaded linear or I am wrong? Why not downloading it 
from multiple hosts, so you can have bundled downloadspeed.

Tell me what you think

PS: Should I write only in Mantis for features or only in the mailinglist? Or 
both? :-)
