Hi folks,

Dijjer is a P2P distributed cache of HTTP accessible resources. I recently added a feature to Dijjer to support the Maven checksum scheme when downloading. I thought Dijjer could be used as a way to reduce load on Maven repositories.

The Dijjer network isn't very large yet and so its help is not yet significant. But were Maven to publicize use of Dijjer for downloading Maven artifacts, the distribute cache would fill with them and it should both reduce load on the repositories and improve client download performance. This could even be accomplished transparently by enhancing the Maven downloading code to try downloading via Dijjer if available.

What do people think? Please keep [EMAIL PROTECTED] cc:ed in any replies as I am not subscribed to this mailing list.

Thanks for your attention,
Turadg
