the coral guys are up for the redirect, so prepending
freecache.org on a URL should work again.

The also changed how they handle files larger than 50MB by just redirecting back to the original source.

so we have a system that will work again, and we can move this experiment forward!

the whole point was to cache large files and save the original host, coral seems to be better for html and smaller files.

anyways, freecache was great while it was around and hopefully coral will continue and improve.

also freecache.org is going to archive.org, i thought this would be redirected properly? or even to the freecache page on archive.org?

CoBlitz service in PlanetLab (CoDeeN) now do the similar thing as FreeCache did in the past - they cache large files of unlimited size. Distinctly, they distribute every file to many nodes and collect them "on-the-fly" for every downloader. The only limits are: not allowed illegal movie/music/warez.
To use it, just add prefix http://coblitz.codeen.org:3125/ to any URL, and everybody will be able to download it by usual Web Browser without any additional software.

thanks, i'll have to remember that.

i think there was a small window between freecache and other file hosting sites like rapidshare.de and megaupload.com . luckily its now easier to find such hosts.
