Wow, the first thing I think of is that this could be a fantastic vector for malware. Anyone who implements this should make it very clear the underlying data can change.
- DarkLinkXXXX 10y agoTo be fair, torrents were always a fantastic vector for malware.
- pessimizer 10y agoTo be fair, the internet has always been a fantastic vector for malware.
- jokoon 10y agoTo be fair, human cells has always been a fantastic vector for infection.
- pepijndevos 10y agoAt least now you can hope that popular torrents with positive comments are maybe okay. With this the author could simply add the malware after it has become popular.
- Senji 10y agoNot a problem. The tracker will mark the torrent as changed from its previous version.
- rakoo 10y agoYou don't stumble randomly on such a mutable torrent. If you know git's data model, usual torrents are like commits, and those mutable torrents are like branches: If you give someone a commit there is trust that it won't move, and if you give them a branch name, there is expectation that the actual commit pointed to will change.
