I have thought about this; it would be good to have a common "protocol" established for searching, requesting, and (eventually) retrieving documents over sneakernet. Perhaps some sort of updateable index passed along with the documents, and an anonymous register of what files are being requested. I envision sort of a physical version of Tor, where nobody knows who has what files or who is requesting what files; the only thing you know is who you just exchanged info with, but you don't know if the new requests/files came from them or from the next hop on the network. This could serve as a backup if the network becomes unavalable in the long term (due to a war, for instance) or if severe repression is put in place, restricting access to information.
