Why do you publish alt-locs? 

What I thought to understand till now is, that they are already exchanged via 
the download mesh, and if a client has no valid sources, it can just do a DHT 
search for the files hash to find new sources. 

So either I'm wrong, or publishing in the DHT alt-locs just duplicates data in 
the DHT which is already available as shared files (except for the hopefully 
rare case where no complete sources of a certain file are vailable). 

Did I misunderstand something? 

Best wishes,
