Quoting Arne Babenhauserheide <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum:
:A way of clustering I'd think interesting would be to cluster by similarity in 
:the query routing tables -> similar shared files. 

Maybe, but most likely not.  These are hashes and there are multiple
combinations, especially if you share a large amount of files, with all the
induced clashes in the table.

Can we drop clustering discussions for now and focus on getting a basic
DHT up?  This will maximize user's usefulness as LimeWire is no longer
relaying SHA1 searches in Gnutella and we need to restore this capability
through the DHT.

Magnets are waiting for us.

And once we have working magnets, who will need torrents? :-)
