Caching Torrent files in DNS

bodin writes "This is a proof of concept version of BitTorrent where the torrent files are transported over DNS. This will of course bog down BIND servers all over the planet. Everyone should be thankful that the files are not sent over DNS."

evank40767, don't the guys at AOL suggest having something like index.html rather than granting access to the whole directory?

And please stop crying now, it is too late anyway. HAHAHAHAHAHAHA.

This is just me

Maybe I'm a bit conservative but I still think p2p networks are evil. They consume all aviable bandwidth, they're hard to control - limiting Kazaa for network larger than 3 computers is a nightmare - it uses all aviable ports, you have to actually filter it by IP packet contents, looking for certain strings in packets. They're also damn easy for abuse - name your trojan preetingirlsuckingdog.exe and tadam! next day it's everywhere.
I know they can be used for 'decent' purposes also, like torrents lately for sharing kernel sources. But still - what was wrong with ftp/http downloading?
