I'm always amazed the BitTorrent DHT infrastructure has been working so well for so long:<p>Real-World Sybil Attacks in BitTorrent Mainline DHT: <a href="http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/lxwang/publications/security.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.cs.helsinki.fi/u/lxwang/publications/security.pdf</a><p>Crawling BitTorrent DHTs for Fun and Profit: <a href="https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/dht-woot10.pdf" rel="nofollow">https://jhalderm.com/pub/papers/dht-woot10.pdf</a><p>Profiling a Million User DHT: <a href="http://www.michaelpiatek.com/papers/dht_imc_falkner.pdf" rel="nofollow">http://www.michaelpiatek.com/papers/dht_imc_falkner.pdf</a><p>Lying To The Neighbours - Nasty effects with tracker-less BitTorrent: <a href="http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4210.en.html" rel="nofollow">http://events.ccc.de/congress/2010/Fahrplan/events/4210.en.h...</a>
A little bit off topic, but I tried to get a developer API key for Bittorrent Sync, and never heard of them.<p>Same thing for Bittorrent Live.<p>Has anyone been successful in getting those ? Also, with the twitch flop (quality of the website, lags, 60 sec delay, PR problems) why don't we hear more about the Live service ?
Question for the HN crowd: how does one can use DHT/trackerless to not only distribute files, but updates to them too?<p>Sort of like an ever continuing magnet link if you will?
