We still can’t decide on a network protocol. DC++ (Direct Connect) Seems to be the best way, theoretically speaking, but the client/server software is lacking for Linux CLI daemons. If you know of any good CLI server/hub please let us know.

Protocols
April 5, 2008Here’s a list of network protocols that we’ll be looking at. The selection will obviously require support on all major platforms (Windows, Mac, Linux).
- Bittorrent (Private Tracker + Frontend)
It requires generating .torrent files which is very cumbersome. Can be capped by ISPs. - DC++ (Private Hub)
MD5 checksums issues? - WASTE
Pending evaluation - eDonkey/eMule
Can be capped by ISP. - Gnutella/Gnutella2
Can be capped by ISP. - IRC
Requires bots/scripts. No encryption? - GNUnet
Pending evaluation. - FTP/SFTP (Private user/pass)
Poor security for FTP. Too risky for SFTP? No Fair Queue System
