[soc2008-general] GSoC Proposal-asynchronous, throttled & prioritized file transfers.

[Sunil Ghai]

Hi,

I had submitted my proposal before deadline extension. Now when I've one
more week, I'm willing to do some more research to make  it a better
application. :)
I have been doing network programming in Python for almost four months, in
fact I am aware of only network modules in Python.

Abstract of my application is :
* *"This project aims to develop a Python module which will provide services
for asynchronous file transfers (in either foreground, or background),
throttle the transfers to preserve the responsiveness of other network
applications, and resume file transfers automatically in case of network
connection problems and/or machine restarts. Unlike other protocols that
transfer files in the foreground, this module will help transfer files in
the background (by default). Background transfers will use only an idle
network bandwidth, in an effort to preserve the user's interaction with
other network applications, such as Firefox."

Full proposal is available here:

Since my knowledge is limited to network programming, if someone could
suggest me where else this kind of module (or it's feature) could be useful
or anything else which could be added to make it a better application would
really be appreciated and I'll be truly thankful to him/her.
Thanks.
