Hi Christopher,
No, I never heard of something like that, but I like the idea
There is http://www.coralcdn.org/ http://www.coralcdn.org/, but that's not a complete solution
Cheers, Ernesto

I've been looking into places like Freenet, services like OpenAFS, and the

Have you seen anything of the like?
Sadly, I haven't seen any substantive leaps since. Even TPB's recent cloud move is entirely predicated on moving a single, virtual instance about.
Edit: Personally, I see this as the most important problem to solve for a free Internet in the next 20 years. Distributed DNS against distributed content is going to be critical.
- chii 14y agoI see distributed DNS to be the more difficult problem (because when you have that, the content will follow fairly easily). The current DNS providers are mostly for profit (? - i m talking about the registras), and they ahve no incentive to move or provide the leeway to move, to a system which is harder to profit off.
