1 edit | Re: It won't be long The way I see it, torrents will be managed in a fashion similar to the peer tracker idea. Because then all you need is a website that says "tracker with hash xxx is good" then you could search for that torrent and go for it.
Under this system, going to a website and reading plaintext does not in any way verify that a user downloaded that file. So if one of these websites was subpeonad, their records would show mountains of visits, but nobody that "has" the file. Also, a system of peers will do lots (but not guarantee it to be unlimited) for anonymity.
The only problem is that these indexes will be in the hands of EVERYBODY with a client, not just those hosting the torrents.
Any ideas along the lines of securing the peer torrent trackers' client. Ruining ones anonymity again simply requires downloading the client and searching. |
