New project people!! :D

Actually, it isn't new at all. It's several years old, but only a few days ago it has implemented teams. Some of our members have for a long time been fooling around with it, and competing between eachothers, and when teams were implemented it was no surprise that we would be ranked 1st! :D

What is Ready Response DLV? (also know as Red Library)
Red Library is Ready Response's search engine with a difference - every single link in the database is hand picked (at present 7000+ links) and categorized. It is a tremendous resource and used by many other sites/visitors worldwide, but as with all search engines there is always a possibility that a link in the database will become a broken a link (404).
The idea behind this project was to make a client application which downloads links from the Red Library server, validates them (i.e. checks to see if they are 404 or not) and then returns the results back to Red Library. The Red Library server will then double check all the links that come back reported as 404, and remove the links if they are found to be down over a period of 7 days or longer. Basically - the more people that run the client, the less bad links will be present in Red Library!
The project itself is very simple. You start up the client and it will fetch a group of 100 links to validate. Every 5 minutes (default interval, can be changed) the client will download 5 of those pages (can be raised up to 10) and check for 404's. Once those 100 links are finished, it will fetch another group of 100 and repeat the process. It takes very little bandwidth as you can calculate. Probably as little as the Dimes project.
