#955 (importing magnet links) - The libTorrent and rTorrent Project - Trac - 0 views

  • 08/31/08 12:55:48 changed by josef ¶ I've written a patch to support magnet links now. You need to check out svn rev 1065 of libtorrent/rtorrent, and get http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/dht-pex-static_map.diff and http://ovh.ttdpatch.net/~jdrexler/rt/experimental/magnet-uri.diff then in the directory that has the libtorrent and rtorrent subdirs you've checked out, do patch -p0 < dht-pex-static_map.diff patch -p0 < magnet-uri.diff and recompile both. It uses the official magnet protocol from Bittorrent BEP-0009 which is incompatible with Azureus and so far only supported by uTorrent 1.8+, so it'll only work if there are recent uTorrents in the swarm. It supports magnet links in both the old style base32 encoded hashes as well as the recommended URL-encoded hashes. Note that if there is one or more tracker URLs to use for the download, it must be present as "tr=..." argument in the magnet URI, because there is currently no way of adding trackers in rtorrent afterwards, so without that it'll use DHT and nothing else. After opening a magnet URI, it will add a meta download to download the actual torrent info. When that is complete, it is replaced by the real torrent. The meta data is saved in your standard torrent download directory, you can delete that after the real torrent has appeared, or you can keep it in case you need to open the same magnet URI again.

    Importing magnet links would be great, because some sites only have magnet links. Mayby something like this:

Peering into PLoS One comment stats : business|bytes|genes|molecules - 0 views

  •  
    I was one of the lucky few who was given access to a dump of "social" statistics for PLoS One (my term). The data were given to us to analyze as we please, to glean from them what we may (I don't really know who all the others were).

  • I am not really convinced by any of these points that attribution or share-alike provisions should not be included in open data licenses
  • application of obligations based on copyright in situations where it is not necessary
  • non-copyrightable elements extends to the entire database and inadvertently infringe

Science 2.0 - introduction and perspectives for Poland « Freelancing science - 0 views

  • transcript of Science 2.0 based on a presentation I gave on conference on open science organized in Warsaw earlier this month
  • prepared for mixed audience and focused on perspectives for Poland
  • new forms of communication between scientists
  • ...44 more annotations...
  • research become meaningful only after confronting results with the scientific community
  • peer-reviewed publication is the best communication channel we had so far
  • new communication channels complement peer-reviewed publication
  • two important attributes in which they differ from traditional models: openness and communication time
  • increased openness and shorter communication time happens already in publishing industry (via Open Access movement and experiments with alternative/shorter ways of peer-review)
  • say few words about experiments that go little or quite a lot beyond publication
  • My Experiment as an example of an important step towards openness
  • least radical idea you can find in modern Science 2.0 world
  • virtual research environment
  • focus is put on sharing scientific workflows
  • use case
  • diagram of the “methods” sections from experimental (including bioinformatics analyses) publications
  • make it easier for others to understand what we did
  • can open towards other scientists we can also open towards non-experts
  • people from all over the world compete in improving structural models of proteins
  • helps in improving protein structure prediction software and in understanding protein folding
  • combine teaching and data annotation
  • metagenome sequences in first case and chemistry spectra in the second
  • interactive visualizations of chemical structures, genomes, proteins or multidimensional data
  • communicate some difficult concepts faster
  • new approaches in conference reporting
  • report in real time from the conference
  • followed by a number of people, including even the ones that were already on the conference
  • “open notebook science” which means conducting research using publicly available, immediately updated laboratory notebook
  • The reason I did a model for Cameron’s grant was that I subscribed to his feed before
  • I didn’t subscribe to Cameron because I knew his professional profile
  • I read his blog, I commented on it and he commented on mine, etc.
  • participation in online communities
  • important part of Science 2.0 is the fact that it has human face
  • PhDs about the same time
  • first was from a major Polish institute, the second from a major European one
  • what a head of a lab both would apply to will see
  • gap we must fill, this is between current research and lectures we give today
  • access to real-time scientific conversation
  • follow current research and decide what is important to learn
  • synthetic biology
  • not all universities in world have synthetic biology courses
  • didn’t stop these students, and they plan to participate in IGEM again
  • not only scientists – there are librarians, science communicators, editors from scientific journals, people working in biotech industry
  • community of life scientists
  • even people without direct connection to science
  • diverse skills and background
  • online conference
  • interact with them and to learn from them
