Dear p2p-hackers:
Please notice the section "WHAT IS IT GOOD FOR?" in the following
release announcement. :-)
This is very interesting. I have been looking for software that does
this (the friends-backup use-case, that is) for a long time, but I never
found anything that did what I wanted it to.
It is still far from a perfect match though: I only care about having a
few (2-10) mostly-trusted nodes, and not a whole lot about a DHT with
the entire world which seems to be the point here: I feel both
reliability and foremost performance will be much better in a smaller
set of nodes with better connectivity. I guess its possible to setup a
private cloud though. I was imagining a very simple system where I
specify for each file stored how much availability I want it to have,
minimum, and then just store it on that amount of nodes, no fancy FEC
nor DHT at all. A good question of course is what happens when nodes go
offline, but not a huge problem if you are actually using this together
with a set of close friends.
