to open the file and view it as normal email with attachments, get thunderbird, copy over the file to /Application Data/Thunderbird/*profile*/Local Folders (you may want to remove the .mbox extention), then start thunderbir and wait until a .msf file is generated in the same folder and then you can read it

EternalEvil (2007-09-27)

This is a lengthy email, but I just wanted to get these issues down on paper. I know many of these are being worked on or are low priority. Queue them up for the team as you see fit.

One new concept: Octavio makes a good point that things that are manually queued should probably go below the 3 current transfers. They can move or delete the top three, but it is somewhat disarming to see your download that was 70% done to just vanish. It would be nice to keep a record of how done a download is even if it is not in the top three but not a critical feature.

Here is the list of features/fixes.

The port probe error in ?recently downloaded? when the web page is launched. BTW, I get the same error when I launch the library page from the tray icon.

Animated pics work on the media page, which is awesome, but it seems to be refreshing the whole page about 10 times. After that it is smooth.

Still need searches for Library and History

History should have check boxes for deleting specific entries

Enlarging the queue and library images

Hard drive management from the tray icon. Basically making sure we don?t take too much space on small hard drives.

Search with the family filter on goes pretty slow sometimes. Other times it works fast. I assume this has to do with the amount it is filtering out. Not sure if anything can be done, but just wanted to note it.

Fitting the whole page in my browser resolution. It is only a few pixels off.

Quicktime files don?t play in my browser. Prob because they are trying to play in Windows Media. Not an urgent prob.

Uninstalling miivi should give the option to remove all downloaded files.

Miivi installer should create a launch from the program files that brings up the queue page.

We should make the applet download like the application so that it does not over burden XP.

The applet should recommend installing miivi if the user is trying to download more that three things at once using it.

I am getting an error in the bottom left corner of the applet downloader. It seems to work but there is some sort of error.

I don?t think the bandwidth sliders in the applet are functional yet.

Cheers,
R

Hi David and Ethan:

Here are the examples of the files we talked about for U2. Keep in mind there are infinite potentials of implementation and combination. These are only meant as talking point examples.



Here is a non-exhaustive list of ideas for the file formatting:
Apply Lowpass/Highpass Filters
Add Static
Changing Bitrate
Modulated Bitrate
Re-encoding to a low bitrate then back to a high one
Adding random noise
Lowering or raising the volume over the course of a song
Applying a periodic volume wave
Switching from Stereo to Mono
Switching audio from left channel to right channel
Changing between Left and right channels
Adding Channels
Adding Audience Noise
Adding a laugh track
Adding Reverb/Echoing
Adding Voiceovers / advertisements
Blanking out random words
Censoring/beeping random words

We don?t want people to think the song sucked. We don?t want people to think the file was deliberately altered. We don?t want people to find patters in the decoys to listen for. We want people to think these are natural aberrations in mp3 encoding. Feel free to forward this to whoever needs to see it. We are still trying to keep this plan under the radar as we feel that will make it more effective.

Cheers,
Randy

2 of the songs were non-singles in our system:
AFI ? Summer Shudder
Timbaland ? Come and Get Me

?hence the 1 bad limewire fail of 38 real. We went ahead marked them as singles and we?ll test these tracks tomorrow.

2 of the tracks were PM2 tracks:
50 cent ? Candy Shop
Mariah Carey ? We Belong Together

The BT test was done on a project (Timbaland ? Shock Value) that wasn?t one of our 22 focus projects. Torrent team has been collecting the torrents for Timbaland since this morning and we?ll feed it to our interdiction system as soon as they?re done.

New DNS trackers will be added tonight and functional by tomorrow (to Herden).

Snarf-it.org now requires a login for upload (to Torrents).
Create at least 10 user logins from Snarf-it to be used ONLY with autoposting system and send them to Jeff.

· REMINDER: Norbit Bittorrent decoy posting to be re-initiated on May 12 (to Torrents).

· Monitor websites for effectiveness.
o Monitor Bitenova with new decoy posts using new DNS trackers particularly for Paramount projects (to Torrents)
o Monitor ?The Office? on Torrentreactor.TO and determine how many days afterwards is it safe to post (to Gerald).
o Concentrate on UPic?s movies for Mininova and Snarf-it.
§ Maintain postings on ?Heroes?, ?Battlestar Galactica? and the rest of the UPics TV shows.

· Increase postings for ?GrindHouse? on Torrentreactor and Isohunt (to Torrents).

I?ve made some changes to my torrent program to monitor any dead torrents. Basically, it will consider a torrent is dead if there is no one seeding/downloading more than 24 hours.
The dead torrents will be moved to the ?dead_torrents? folder on the ftp site. QA can verify those torrents to see if they are really dead or very much alive.

The two Beyonce projects have protection active from a competitor, whereas the Britney Spears track does not.

For the Beyonce project, they are returning results for ?Irreplaceable? instead of the correct track name. We thought it was our own protection because the port range they used was similar to Ivan?s.

but changing the health bars would mean people think that's what a healthy file looks like. and if those files download very slowly (and are ostensibly healthy), that would look bad, no?

if the featured section of the site ever is an appealing reason for people to come to the site, those files would be downloaded and re-shared frequently. i'm not sure i understand why we would "puff up" health on these files.

The health indicators for videos on the Featured page is COMPLETELY different from how the health indicator for those same videos is when they're placed in my queue, suggesting that MiiVi-sourced videos aren't properly calculated for health on queue.php. Videos from MiiVi network that have blue and green health bars, when queued show the single red line for few sources....

Also, we talked about the kludgy un-scaleable publishing, and he thought we should stick published files toward the top of people's queues until we get a more complete 'network drive' solution in place. I told him sticking them in queues would require the least development, but it might be confusing. He thought it would be fine in the short term.
Anybody have any thoughts on that?

I forgot bandwidth throttling and related files(real related files). Randy had a whole bunch of other things, but I told him we needed to focus on critical functionality.

No, they weren't in order of importance, it was more the order I remembered them, but they are all "necessary" for launch.
Feedback - go to a Youtube movie page. Under the movie, to the right, is a link "Flag as inappropriate". Same thing.
Embedded - Randy wanted to embed the applet, but I told him that would be a pain, so he said a linked thumbnail/screenshot would be fine.
Metadata - all the stuff under the embedded movie that's currently hard coded.
Yes, the tivo warning that a file will be deleted soon unless you say to keep it.
Preview - Yeah,the first 10MB thing. Now that you're feeding the data from the app, maybe you can just send whatever's been downloaded(and written to disk) up to that point.
Two other things:
Installing the App from the Applet.
Systray app for windows. Serg is already working on a systray service, but he'll need to be able to communicate with the app.

So my list was:
Tivo deleting logic
Publishing
Comments
Favorites
and Jay said:
Publish,
feedback(inappropriate content),
link and embed URL(like Youtube),
rating,
Metadata
warning file about to be deleted(TIVO)
Preview
So the publish we agree on. What is "Feedback" going to be? Link is fine, embed ... How the fuck are you going to do that shit? Rating, fine. "Metadata" means what? Warning about deleting a file is already in there ... Unless you mean "Warning, this file is going to be deleted soon." like TiVo kind does? Preview ... The first 10mb? I'm going to have to think how to do that one.
I am assuming yours were in order of importance?

Since this is in a separate IP block, can we take extra steps to make it seem legit? Maybe we can get it to stick on some lists if we?re lucky. And then use it to our advantage later on?.or is that a battle not worth fighting?

One other thing on Torrents?
I?m trying to big up your protection to the Germans, they have not been running many projects recently and I?m trying to get them back on board. However, they are asking a lot of questions about torrent protection and want to look at a project we are current running to see what it looks like. So, to help you look good?can you give me the name of one of our titles that you are doing best on in the torrent area?
Also, please keep me cc?d on any correspondence on the Tocotronic leak.
Cheers,
Mark

You can ask Potts about Search Engine Optimization (SEO), but this is a big, established field, for which companies typically out-source or hire specifically. Jay and I have talked to Potts about SEO stuff before and he hasn't been too helpful on the subject. He's been so vague about it that I think either he wants to be the only way anyone at ArtistDirect/MD could find out about it, or he doesn't know anything about it really.... I think (Jay can correct me on this, as he explained it to me before) robots.txt tells search engines what NOT to index and not the other way around and the problem we have is that all of the pages are created dynamically.

Do you know how goggle images indexes pictures for search? It seems to me that we have a huge collection of somewhat broad pictures coming from our website even if someone does not install the app. I would like it if our pictures were indexed with goggle. We need to get as much search traffic as we can.

Is there anything we can put in the robots.txt?

I just was referring to organic growth being about the same as the RKnet porn stuff. From google analytics we can see what referrers aren't us and that looks similar to the rate we get people emailing links to the site and talking about it in forums.... It's not much, but it's a start. The conversions are about as good as the first opt-in for ringtones on a cell phone (about 1 in 300). RK converts 1 in 6500 on avg, using credit card. Adult friend finder converts 1 in 2000 on limewire. If we want more users, Dylan's eDonkey messages would get us a lot of Europeans that are a little bit older crowd....

"Jay, Octavio and Randy,

Attached is how the downloads for our Uber 2 Kanye West and 50 Cent files have gone out over the holiday weekend on gnutella. We don't have any comparable way of looking at this on eMule or Ares at this time. This Uber 2 experience so far is basically a test/dry-run of the real decoy distribution system that Jay's team is going to start developing soon.

Keep in mind the attachment is from our legacy gnutella file distribution system (Ivan's original decoying system). The thing I find interesting is Kanye West's tracks were downloaded from us more frequently than 50 Cent tracks. Let me know if you're interested in having more data like this pulled from the gnutella decoying system.

Something similar happened where I used to work. We had a yogurt in the fridge that expired 6 months ago and one day we decided that it had to be cleaned out. So one employee plays a joke and opens it and puts it under another guys desk! Then the other guy finds out who did it and spills the deadly stinking biohazardous yogurt on that guys car bumber.
Now that is very fucking hilarious! (imo:)
