Easy filesharing for Haiku

BeShare

BeShare is a Haiku-native filesharing program. It operates similarly to other such programs (Napster, Hotline, etc) but with a few advantages:

• BeShare allows you to upload or download any type of file, not just mp3.
• When browsing files, you can see their attributes (similar to Be's Tracker view)
• Your query is always "live", so if new files that match your query become available, you will see them added to the results list right away (you won't have to click "refresh" or anything first)
• BeShare includes a rudimentary chat mechanism for you social types.
• BeShare supports any number of simultaneous uploads and downloads in parallel, but will serialize simultaneous file requests to any given host for efficiency.

NOTE: If you are behind a firewall, make sure you have checked the "I'm Firewalled" menu item in the settings menu. In this mode, other people who are not behind firewalls will be able to download from you, but other people who are also behind firewalls will not be able to see or download the files in your "shared" directory.

beshare's Issues

Crashes on exit

This only happens after a file has been downloaded, so the culprit is probably something in ShareFileTransfer.cpp.

Also: when run in Debugger, the crash is actually an assert failure in MUSCLE code saying that one of the Refs was leaked.

add image etc for .hpkg files

Currentky .hpkg files are displayed as an unknown type.

Locate JavaShare source code

I'm looking around for the JavaShare source code (which went down when BeUnited did). It's still useful to access MUSCLE shares from other OSes, and I hear TuneTracker still recommends it to customers.

CC @bvarner, I wonder if you still have it?

freezes When using Start query.

Creator: Fredrik Modeen
URL: http://dev.osdrawer.net/issues/581

I d/l-ed and tried Beshare 2.3, but it freezes on my hybrid install, 43877gcc2hybrid
to be precise. The easiest way to get it to freeze is to click the "Start Query"
button, but it would also freeze when just letting it sit idle for more than 5
minutes. It would then stay frozen until I killed it.

Muscle needs patches for latest Haiku

Fixes needed for:

• atomic functions no longer needing volatile int's
• The string.h vs strings.h header fixes

Trying to download a file shared from 2.30 loops endlessly

As in title.

Private chat doesn't work as expected.

Log into TyComSystems

Right click on Atrus , the TyComSystems bot, and select "Chat with Atrus"

A Private chat window opens.

Type "catsup"

The output of the Atrus response is placed in the main chat window, not the private chat window as expected. Using BeShare v2.31 compiled from the source.

the default server, beshare.TyComSystems.com is and has been down for weeks.

This does not allow a new user to descover active servers.

I suggest changing the default to an active server ... coquilletkd.com (myne), or one of the others.

BeShare 2.x not able to share/upload files. (BeShare 3.x works..)

In both x86 and x86_64, BeShare version 2.x is not able to share or upload
files.
Tested firewall settings, and I have proper ports opened.
This was verified by BeShare user AGMS and rennj.
I have attached the log from the discussion as we were troubleshooting.

• a quick solution is to use BeShare version 3.x, however, this version is
  not yet available in x86_64

Can't open shared folders

As in title.

Remove All libsanta Based code

I'm looking through the source code and see there are still parts of the program that depend on libsanta. I feel we should remove this code and replace it with the native haiku api or at least move to libwalter.

[enhancement] Re make the language to standard Haiku.

Investigate if we can use http://i18n.haiku-os.org/pootle/ for beshare also.

Rewrite the code.

Take the ShareStrings and make the languges for BeShare.

Build is broken on x86_64
