Quoting Arne Babenhauserheide <[email protected]> from ml.gnutella.dev-forum: :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? How do you think data is published in the DHT? It is because alt-locs are published in the DHT that you are able to support sourceless magnets. The download mesh is there to exchange alt-locs between active sources. The DHT is there to seed the initial sources. They are both complementary and reinforce each other. Raphael
