sig2dat is a tool for using signatures (hashes) to share exact copies of a file with Morpheus 1.3.3, Kazaa, Grokster or iMesh.(Want to know more? - start with the primer). Supports quicklinks now! (HTML format output) Any questions? Please ask them in the ShareTheFiles Forum Attention: Do not use Uninstall, if you installed sig2dat in Kazaa Folder as it deletes all subfolders and thus may delete all your downloads Download sig2dat 3.11.a_setup.zip for download, then unzip and run setup to install (zip) (History) (Source) You can calculate signatures(hashes) from files you created or verified and publish them or mail to friends (It seems Grokster needs the exact filelength!). You can make startfiles from given signatures (hashes). For using quicklinks with Opera add the following line to the Opera6.ini under User Prefs: TrustedExternalURLProtocols=sig2dat Only quicklinks with format sig2dat:/// work correctly, older quicklinks with format sig2dat:// have problems with cases. Want to try it? The real important line is the one starting with UUHash ... Please, be carefull! Even if the hashes offer a rather safe way for sharing, they do NOT offer 100% protection against virus infected files. Always have a recently updated virusscan running, if you download files, which can transport virusses! if you have installed the sig2dat protocol and stored sig2dat.exe you may try the quicklink: surprise.mp3 or use copy paste with the lines below File: surprise.mp3 Length:5845871Bytes UUHash:=1LDYkHDl65OprVz37xN1VSo9b00= Copy the lines above and use the 'Paste from Clipboard' function of sig2dat to create a startfile. Then restart your p2p client. Try more UUHashes. Why not compute UUHashes from your own files and publish them in the forums?
