not the important thing.
So to answer the points about the packaging. I didn't know Tar was just a way

loop... Then folk can copy what they want and post it onto the next

Seems BitTorrent, P2Pnext (tribler) and the internet archive are the best
solutions by a long way. I did speak to people about how we pass footage

What does Tar add to the ability to organise

I've just got Freesat HD, and it's amazing to see the best
