[gnome-network]Transfer Manager (again!)

[Manuel Clos <llanero eresmas net>]

Hi all,

I've been working in downman these two weekends, and finaly did a 
release. Interested people can take a look at downman-0.0.5.

The daemon now uses the gnome-vfs async functions to do the work. I have 
renamed everything from download to transfer. And by the way did a 
better separation of the Transfer object and the TransferThread object 
(multiple threads are closer now :)).

So the next moves are:
	- implement the gnome_vfs_async_seek function that is missing in gnome-vfs
	- work on the seek () support for ftp and http (there is a patch in 
bugzilla for http already) so that we can have *RESUME* support, what is 
a transfer manager for if it is lacks resume support?
	- move to bonobo for activation and communication.

So what is the current status?

	- Are there any bits of the bonobo implementation I can look at? 
(daemon, middleman)
	- Is there an _interface_ defined for the clients?
	- Is there a list of what functions will go into libgnomenetwork to 
wrap such interface?

I would like to start moving downman to use the bonobo work in 
gnome-network now, since it is the next natural step. If there are no 
implementation bits, is there a good definition of the daemon structure? 
features that will have? ...?
