My hosting provider blackholed my mail for a 24 hour period so I've had to read all the replies on the archive. Thanks for the links and input, though I did get one or two responses which misinterpreted me as suggesting the current tor network be used for anon p2p. Perish the thought! One final dumb question. The torify-ing wiki says: "BitTorrent is already using a mechanism similiar to Tor to communicate with other peers. " Is this referring to DHT? Is it really that similar? -- KlamAV - An Anti-Virus Manager for KDE - http://www.klamav.net TorK - A Tor Controller For KDE - http://tork.sf.net
