Bittorrent might be a bit above the understanding of the general user (ie, Jane). While I think the theory of Bittorent is great, the execution of it leaves something to be desired, at least at this point. ;)

You could have a central tracker, but if I digitize a speech, I can throw it up on bittorrrent, submit it to the tracker, somebody verifies that that's what it is, and then it gets swarmed around. Not great for streaming stuff, admittedly, since it gets downloaded in random chunks. -- Jeff Kramer [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://www.keika.co.uk/
