Re: Torrent Exchange Protocol

well look im sorry if i was a bit harsh, I didnt mean to come off so 
mean. But you are still completely missing the point - everything you 
are discussing is related to PIRATE CONTENT! "Bit Torrent" has nothing 
to do with any of that - none of what you just listed is a problem.

i think some of these ideas are great - just dont expect any of that to 
be called "bit torrent"

serously tho - i wish someone would write a bt derived pirate protocol 
so you guys would stop worrying about bit torrent
