From the project website:
CycleTraders is a cooperative network of users that gather critical information about the status
of each other's website. By running the client on your machine, you donate some of your computing
time to measure the response time of other user's web pages. In return, your site is also timed
by all the other users on the network, from a variety of locations and connections. This data
can be analyzed to gauge response time from different geographical locations, at different
connection speeds, and at different times of the day. All this is automated through a web
interface and an email reporting system.

Grub provides a free for download, free to run, distributed crawling client, which is used to
create an infrastructure (database + volunteers) that will eventually provide URL update status
information for nearly every web page on the Internet. Grub's distributed crawler network will
enable websites, content providers, and individuals to notify others that changes have occurred
in their content, all in real time.

From the project website:
"Capacity Calibration (CapCal) is a patent-pending technology for measuring the capacity and
performance of any server or Web site from a distributed network of agent computers inside or
outside the corporate firewall. The CapCal technology is the only solution that can provide
true end-to-end Web capacity and performance measurement and analysis. It is available as a
locally- or remotely-delivered service bureau offering, a hosted hourly subscription service,
a licensed software package, and as a pre-configured appliance that can be owned/licensed
outright or rented on an as-needed basis."
Participants are paid $0.30(US) per hour of work. Payments are made via PayPal: users are paid
when their earnings total $1(US) or more.
Participants must have a full-time, high-speed Internet connection and must run the CapCal Java
client application at least 10 hours per day or 70 hours per week. Under Windows 98 and Windows
ME, the client only runs when the screen-saver is active. Under Windows 2000 you can configure
it to run any time or only during specific times.
