This seems the perfect use case for letting a secure BitTorrent tracker share the lists, then either implementing the client in the browser, or having it as a system service that syncs the necessary files.
- thiht 4y agoTorrent was also my first thought. Is there any reason why this is not a good solution?
- kevincox 4y agoOne downside is that Torrent doesn't really share blocks between torrents. So updating the torrent would result in a full download. That being said the data is small so it probably isn't a big deal. A better solution may be something like IPFS where with a rolling-checksum chunking algorithm you only need to download the changed parts of the list. You could even use IPNS to distribute updates for a fully decentralized setup.
- RandomWorker 4y agoYeah! Just share through BitTorrent, this is the perfect example where it can be useful. To be honest I’m not sure why this isn’t built in to browsers yet Oracle browser has one.
