I'm in the situation where I work on a laptop, which connection oscillates between work and home.
Basically, if I can't use wuala correctly because it's unavailable behind my workplace firewall, it's of no use to me anymore.
I know there are simple solutions that permit connexions from firewalled machine to firewalled machine, like used in e.g. skype.
(I also know skype relays are a pain in the ass for netadmins too ;) )
Wouldn't there be a way to use elegant solutions for these situations ?
I mean, if my service is hampered because I can't take advantage of my workplace connection, I'm loosing so much wuala loses all interest.
For starters, I'm still useful for non firewalled hosts, since I could be "told" by a relay to connect directly to them in case they have something to request from me. Which wouldn't cost the relays much in that case.
Second, even if I take bandwidth form relays in the firewall to firewall case, I still bring in presence regularity, which is a definite plus to lower file replication.
Most important: if I don't have that possibility, wuala is a No for me, and I'm simply gone. Loss for everyone.
So, what is your stance in the close future regardig that ?
