I would be very much be willing to assist with seeding if we make dht torrent files available from my nodes located in downtown Los Angeles for west-coast and APAC network presence. as an aside: I have been running libtorrent/rtorrent for a bit and it seems like a pretty decent platform for building on. having said that - I am not a security researcher and would be keen to hear if libtorrent/rotrrent suffers from these similar issues? -pete -- pete wright www.nycbug.org @nomadlogicLA _______________________________________________ freebsd-stable@freebsd.org mailing list http://lists.freebsd.org/mailman/listinfo/freebsd-stable To unsubscribe, send any mail to "freebsd-stable-unsubscr...@freebsd.org"
