it might just be me but there seems to be a run on comparisons of filesharing systems lately?
i think i might have to check out morpheus, given the oreilly overview:
” Unlike Napster, which only supports the sharing of MP3 audio files, Morpheus provides support for the full gamut of audio, video, image, document, and software files. Morpheus’ judicious use of metadata to describe the contents of a file (derived automatically from the file if possible, or user-provided via the application’s file import wizard) means that files can be searched by such attributes as title, artist, category, language, resolution, and user rating. While Morpheus is largely a decentralized system, the speed of its query engine rivals that of centralized systems like Napster.
