Yes, indeed, I'm lazy. This page doesn't look familiar, does it?

Napservers-0.01

Are you as sick as I am of having to connect and reconnect to every Napster server -- totally at random -- to find the one really obscure MP3 you're looking for? Well, damn right, I'm sick of it.

Anyway, I spent a weekend figuring out the Napster protocol, and another couple weeks (very sporadically) coding a client which will connect to every server and perform a search for you, then spit back the results. Right now, that's all it does, but I plan to add a nice interface and download (but not upload) capabilities to it, to simplify your MP3-leeching life immensely. If you're a *NIX user, anyway. For now, though, you can use BWap (or any other UNIX napster client that lets you connect to any server you want) to connect and download the files you want.

Here's the code. Yes, it's very primitive. Feel free to send me any updates you want, I'll gladly accept them.

Note: (an update of sorts): Napster seems to have linked its servers, at least somewhat. This may make my code obsolete or pointless. I'll leave it here anyway, especially because they don't appear to be linked well.
