234 Rob? 235 Napster is, as you know, the protocol used by that wonderful little program
235 236 called napster. You know the one! It's what millions of college kids across
237 america are using to sastisfy their longing for music :-D. Anyways, gaim supports
238 it. It's kind of fiunky, though. Napster is a TCP protocol and only requires one
239 connection to the server. All file transfers, however, are explicitly client to
240 client. The plugin currently only supports one way file transfer (downloading)
241 from people who are _not_ firewalled. You can also send private messages to each
242 other, join chat rooms, browse a user's files, and search. More implementation
243 coming soon.
