bit torrent rocks and the very fact its just a protocol and not a network means it can't be shut down 😀

shut down tracker sites = shut down bit torrent

Good luck shutting some of them down. The pirate bay claims that what they do is legal in sweden(?). 😉

I don't think anyone could shut down all the Russian/Far Eastern trackers.

Is it just me tho, or is Bittorrent not the most efficient program. (In terms of network usage.) But I guess by default, the whole "upload and ratio" elements are the core of the program.

Well, we could write a better sharing program. I have mixed emotions about it - on one hand, I don't think music/movie sharing is ethical (besides the fact it is illegal), but on the other hand, p2p is an interesting concept in distributed file storage and would make a great project/challenge.

There needs to be better compression, encryption (over SSL?) for anonymity of the file sharing but public accountability / audit trail of those using the system. The design also has to be inherently serverless, none of that "supernode" stuff. No ads, no spyware. The indexing system will be self perpetuating and self healing - if someone is uploading bad or low quality files, a rating system allows the entire pier collective to ban a machine once a threshold is reached.

Any programmers here interested in starting a project with me? 🙂

Looks like P2P is going to raise the monthly cost of internet for everyone?

The Web is not the Internet. Way to paraphrase Slashdot's reporting. 😛
