[0]PDTP (Peer Distributed Transfer Protocol), which is trying to
merge
the concepts of FTP and BitTorrent. This sounds like it could be
useful
for apt-get repositories or other high demand FTP sites. It's
designed
to be used as part of [1]scalable networks which could replace
manual
selection of FTP mirrors. It also supports a number of other nifty
features like cryptographic file signatures. Isn't it about time we
ditched FTP for something better?"
