napMan-napster server infobot News

napMan version 1.1 released. Bug in install script fixed.

napMan is an infobot that provides you with a real time glimpse into the current state of the worldwide network of nap servers that are based on either the closed-source Napster protocol or the Open Source opennap protocol. It can display a list of all the nap servers and current statistics for each server (users, number of MP3 files, gigabytes), pinging individual servers and check the network lag time, a facility to save the list of servers and statistics to a file, and refreshing statistics for individual servers or all the servers. It is written in Perl using the
GTK-Perl bindings to the GTK+ GUI toolkit. The list of servers is grokked from the excellent PHP3 script at napigator.
