Hmm, broken somehow:

Whew – At least Little Red Corvette is still on the table. ;)

Thanks for posting this. It finally gave me the opportunity I needed for advertising this:

Regarding Ruby and music: There’s also a Ruby user group on last.fm (a radio stream that adapts itself to your taste) at http://www.last.fm/group/ruby

Regarding p2p.rb and trouble: Make sure to try this latest version in case you’re experiencing any trouble. Though currently the service does indeed seem to be down so it will likely not help much just yet.

Service down? What are you guys getting when you do this:

Worked great for me. Thanks, _why! :)

Oh now it works. I prefer the second song :-)

Give it another try. The process was hanging for a bit there.

Looks like you have to wait in line for previous connections to finish. Hang out, it’ll finish.

Surely enough, this little six lines is hard to keep up all the time. It crashes like once every two hours with: Illegal instruction. It gets queezy on stray Marshals. Akk-k-k, too bad.

Now, let’s all put our stack traces away and see if we can get something closer to MoleSter.

Thank you why!

I’ve been a fan of Cornelius quite long ago..

Illegal instruction? That sounds like a Ruby bug to me. Can you provide any details?

I can read directory just fine, d/l’ing seems to be slower than I’d expected. Still, sounds neat.

rubytalk.com URL for the p2p thang doesn’t seem to point where it should.

rubytalk.com is gone. what a crappy ruby birthday thing to do! well, fixed at least.
