• The demo server is currently down due to a glitch in the web server configuration. We hope it is up again in a day or two (whenever the server admin fixes it). Sorry for the inconvenience.

• Released v1.1.0. It's finally here! Our demo server is already running it. Featuring persistent connections, music charts, top searches and several bugs fixed. Go get some songs!

• 4:30PM EST. The mirror site is now up and functional.
• 4:15PM EST. You may notice that the current mirror is having some problems and you will be unable to use WebNap for some time. We hope to bring back our mirror site asap and will keep you posted.
• You may also be wondering when the next release is coming. Since we are busy with school and/or work, it has taken us considerably more time to add features to WebNap. In any case, an important change was made that added persistent connection to the Napster server. This change will be included in the next release (hopefully by next week).

• WARNING! Installing WebNap on a server for public use will most likely get you banned for leeching/hammering. Our demo sites have already been banned. Please use it for personal use. Meanwhile, we are working on enabling file sharing and persistent connections.

• There is a misconfiguration with the distribution of WebNap 1.0.1. The file "config.inc", which contains the database login info, is world-readable. If you have downloaded this version, please download the v1.0.2 release or make the following changes:
  • Rename "config.inc" to "config.inc.php" (or "config.inc.php3").
  • In the file "webnap.inc", change the line

    include("config.inc")

    to refer to the new name. For example, include("config.inc.php").
