I'm the author and I'm pretty sure I keep the whole history in some archived 
SVN. If you're interested I could try to dig it out. Also, perhaps I could 
simply convert it to git and put it in github.

I'm not sure how good a resource it is for learning from; I did learn a lot 
about blocking and non-blocking sockets when programming that (I 
experimented with both approaches -- IIRC a stack size related thread limit 
in Windows prompted me to abandon blocking IO in the end), but the code more 
or less grew up with little foreplanning.
