Interesting paper, thanks for the link. I'm not sure what they used as 
DHT keys - words? It can't be file hashes because the dynamic querier 
might not know any file hashes when it switches to the DHT (if the query 
hasn't received any hits).

So I wonder what would happen in the case we previously discussed where 
a filename contains some common words and some rare ones?

Cheers,
Michael
