is it safe to assume that freecache is no more? were you guys destroyed by the movie industry since they seem to be going after bittorrent now?

[I think the plan is to clearly indicate which of the Archive's services are 'experimental', and which are actually supported, at some point.]
Anyhow, I'm not sure if Freecache is down permanently, unfortunately, because I don't deal with the service, but hopefully, one of the people who does can come along and tell you what's going on.

We did not have a good proposition or mature enough tool to attract other freecache sites.
The Coral system, using the planetlab system, does have a critical mass. I talked with the leader of that project and hopefully they will be supporting large files better.
Therefore, I hope to see the ideas move forward, and we may join back in if we think we can take an solid next step.
I have asked the sysadmins to put in a coral redirect (as long as this is ok with the coral folks) or just refer the urls back to the original locations.
thank you all, and ralf especially, for helping with this experiment.

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!

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?

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.
More info you can find here: http://codeen.cs.princeton.edu/

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.
