This is a self-promotion statement...check out twistedstorage.org. Like
'allmydata' it is still pretty early, though the first commercial version
did go out last year. This is an open source version written in Python (and
using the Twisted Matrix framework).

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.
