Contributing:

If you wish to contribute, please subit a PR with any type of improvement. Currently, some of the desired features are:

Have a Non-dependence on Socket.io, or any other socket library (would be nice to have aleve dependency-free).
Implement the streaming of files, rather than bulk reads.
