Wuala - a distributed file system

Feb 23, 2009 - Hmmm, there are multiple online storage websites online, some you have to pay for i know. But Java? Why not C# or C++? Then again, for mac is more of objective C. Even still, not many people like Java.

Java has had its criticisms in the past due to poor performance but it has matured enough that there is no justifiable reason to criticise it anymore.C# is an open standard but you are restricted to third-party cross-platform GUIs like GTK or QT. I am not sure of cross-platform concerns about C++ and ObjC.

Mar 18, 2009 - To those who don't understand why you'd only get 7GB with 10GB*70%:Your "downtime" should equal your "uptime", right?Your "uptime" is 10GB*70%But your "downtime" is actually 100% (you can access your files at 100% of the time), to make downtime and uptime equal, but downtime 100%, you need to get 7GB.You wouldn't want 10GB of storage and only be able to access it 70% of the time, right?

Mar 22, 2009 - what a neat concept... wonder if LaCie merger will be good for the end user? has anybody found a way to stream media files from their wuala account to a computer without the file-system installed, or the wuala independent application? sure would be cool, being able to access the files via mobile device, not just download, but stream....

Sep 14, 2009 - Ich kenne mich im Recht kaum aus, aber - wieso sollte das eigentlich rechtliche Konsequenzen haben? Ich meine, die Post wird ja auch nicht dafür verantwortlich gemacht, wenn gefälschte Banknoten, kopierte DVDs oder sonstwas damit verschickt wird. Oder? Wo ist da der Unterschied?

Mar 28, 2010 - I wished it didn't run on Java either. Java's pretty unstable and it crashes very easily on my Mac.

Stasoline Says:

May 3, 2010 - Interesting stuff!

Jan 6, 2011 - why invent a pen for space? just use a pencil! Cloud Computing and worldwide CDN is going cheap, HD space / CPU power also go cheaper and cheaper, n Home broadband going 1G speed nowAny highschool kid can subscribe awazon S3 + worldwide CDN and provide a higher speed, more stable service in 3 hours? u charge $45 for 25G??The only good point I can think of is to share priate stuffs, since it uses P2P and difficult to trace the source unless the company disclose such information.

May 26, 2011 - More Torrents! Fucking DLLs sucks... -.-

lnostdal Says:

Aug 26, 2011 - @stalepie35 Java (or JVM languages) is great. The problem with stuff depending on the JVM is that the JVM is not already in memory when it starts -- as is the case when something C/C++ based starts.

SyntheholVideo Says:

Oct 3, 2011 - "Unlike traditional online storage systems, Wuala is decentralized and can harness idle resources of participating computers to build a large, secure, and reliable online storage. This enables its users to trade parts of their local storage for online storage and it allows us to provide a better service for free."They just killed this feature. A bad, bad, decision.

grahamperrin Says:

Oct 6, 2011 - agreed. I posted to Posterous: LaCie: Wuala ceases to trade storage, loses essence

Oct 19, 2011 - What to dlls and torrents have to do with Wuala?

CassandraAbbey Says:

Apr 2, 2012 - This more computer stuff.

Trololololoish Says:

Apr 18, 2012 - LOL, Wuala is a piece of shit now, who would pay $359 for 100GB of storage?
