Hi ,here is my quick answer:

Hi Circle's Developpers,
I have some basic question about Circle.
Network:
- does Circle work behind a NAT ?
yes, at least on linux
- does Circle work behind a firewall ? Some p2p apps are able to
choose a remote node as front-end and so work across a firewall.
yes
- does Circle manage nodes localisation ? I mean, if a set of node
hold an information, the application will get it from the node closest
to me.
I do not understand what you mean by that...
does your question refer to the DHT queries,
or to the process of downloading a file?
P2P:
- does Circle manage DHT replications, in the way of Pastry and Past ?
I do not know either.
I mean, I know very well what circle does, but
I do not understand your terminology.
And a short information : you say somewhere on the Circle web page
that Circle should work on MS-Windows. It doesn't, because you are
using GTK, and GTK is not implemented on Win32.
well, I say on the web that it works for some people,
because that is the case.
Here is the link to GTK that I put on the homepage:
http://www.dropline.net/gtk/download.php
did you try to install it, along with pygtk?
C:\Documents and Settings\froidevp\Desktop>c:\Python23\python.exe
Circle-0.41c.pyw
Traceback (most recent call last):
File "circle", line 133, in ?

ImportError: No module named gtk
There is some GTK port for win32, download here :
http://www.gimp.org/~tml/gimp/win32/downloads.html. But there is no
Python modules. A better choice would be to use wxWindows (and thus
wxPython), a stable and powerfull GUI. Bittorrent use wxPython, for
example.

Philippe.
