Member Baby Gumby Posts: 1 | As one member of ten famous international photographers, I feel highly honored to be invited to the activity of such theme as “City of Olympics” organized by Chinese government on 10th March. It’s the first time I had been to Beijing, and before this I only see the outlook of Great Wall from pictures. During the week, We take pictures from the spot representing Chinese culture such as Beijing Imperial Palace, Great Wall, and of course some large sports facilities, of which the outlook of one facility is like bird’s nest, so we call it “Bird’s Nest.” It’s one visual feast that the city blends the classicality and modern perfection everywhere. I even had the delusion of travelling across the history for many times. I was fascinated by many unique spot I’d never seen before, and what I can do was just to take some pictures of the beautiful scene for permanent preservation. It’s an uncommon experience to take so many pictures on the ancient city’s outlook.and the only way for me to thank Beijing is to record the most beautiful and the vigorous Beijing with my camera. When I was bothered how I could transfer all of these pictures to the magazine and my friends abroad? The Chinese translator told me that she could help me to solve this problem. It’s a miracle that my friends in North American and Africa received my photos timely. I felt surprised when I saw the email in which my friends appraise the beautiful pictures. I was wondering why pictures could be transferred to any countries I wanted. The translator told me that there was one popular transnational transfer software called QOODAA. It can be downloaded free at [edited out -Mr Creosote]. It’s with English interface, easy-to-use, and can transfer large files (such as movies, videos) across different countries, which changed the history of express CD. I am not in the least afraid of the far place and large pictures after I found the way how to transfer large files. I travel around the world easily with Qoodaa and to be a cool “daanese”. ----- Edited by Mr Creosote at 22:15 on June 21st, 2008 |

Member Retired Gumby Posts: 936 | It's generally pretty easy to transfer gigantic files using the internet in every country that isn't China. Sorry pal. ----- [i]Keep your stick on the ice[/i] |

I thought it was, but I went to the site and it seemed like it was just some project. It'd be really weird to spam for. As for the software, it seems like its just a file manager, things that were popular when unreliable 56k (or less!) were the norm. In China the internet is really bad, a lot of my friends go there for extended stays and talking online is a big hassle. Many times sending them a questionable photo will get them logged off, and only skype seems to be allowed. This software originates from there. ----- [i]Keep your stick on the ice[/i] ----- Edited by Tuss at 20:29 on June 21st, 2008 |

Guest | Try searching for "one facility is like bird’s nest" with Google. Currently you get about 124 hits when you click on 'repeat the search with the omitted results included.' It must be a spam posting for QOODAA. |

Guest | Additional. I clicked the cached link for one of the hits. This time it mentions "one popular transnational internet file transfer software called KUDAA" and the relevant download site. I don't think I'll trust any of these programs or sites. |

Admin Reborn Gumby Posts: 11480 | Thanks, APS, I guess the search results are evidence enough. I can now hardly delete the whole thread, but for the benefit of those who only ever read the first posts of threads, I've edited out the link.

Call me ignorant, but what does the software claim to do exactly. I mean... I can transfer files of any size via SSH to any from anywhere really. How should that be any different if China is involved? And if there is anything I'm missing, what does that program do differently? ----- Now you see the violence inherent in the system! ----- Edited by Mr Creosote at 22:20 on June 21st, 2008 |
