Do you think something like this could be used for some form of a distributed blob store that you can query? Things like package managers could use this effectively.
- sktrdie 10y agoYep. The SQLite database can virtually contain anything. TorrentPeek is about sites, but there's nothing stopping you from using it to store information about software packages.
- zzzcpan 10y agoIt's a perfect idea for package managers. And they could expand on it, like forcing clients to download a certain number of random pieces depending on the amount of seeds to make sure at least a few other clients have each piece, keeping the whole dataset healthy and reachable. And if the dataset points to other packages - all packages from those random pieces could also be downloaded and distributed.
