Could we ever set up all our phones to run torrent files, maybe in a background program? So people that want a particular piece of data would not be so dependent on one up to date source. Also reducing the cost of maintaining the community, among other things?

I was thinking to some similar solution.. Maybe designing a cloud-system for this purpose (I don't know if it is only a fantasy dream).

@ the experts: I'd like to know the amount of data we are speaking and the supposed traffic.

For example: repositories 10GB, 1TB/month
talk 30GB, 100TB/month..
etc...

cloudflare.com is quite useful for this - and it's free, if you don't need ssl.
and there are probably other services providing similar functionality.

just a factoid to throw in here; the backup service we have is holding onto 1.3TB of data...

So not 10GB to be put in cloud

There was discussion of doing just that. In the end, it may be what has to happen. But I'd still rather see a public repo setup, even if that repo moves.

I remember similar distributed repository discussion in some desktop distro (Ubuntu/Debian ?). A good point was made that you are actually indirectly telling the swarm that you have outdated libraries. An attacker just needs to wait for an update for a remote exploit to come down & all the swarm participants that are requesting it before they manage to install it. So this would have to be addressed somehow.

Still, a trusted central repository just doesn't have this issue.

Has anyone heard of bit coins? It claims to be an unhackable form of currency trade. I would think secure data transfer would not be an enormous hurdle if some one were to apply a similar framework.

Thank you for the link. The hole dynamics of this situation is pretty interesting.

~2h ago we enabled repo
It's slow but improving, due to 2000+ devices leeching full packages.gz at a time.
I hope for this to change once all devices have cached the current file's version.

cheers
