    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 send over DNS.
    So why is it being posted on Slashdot if it's such a bad idea? Won't posting it on a major news site just further it's progession?

    Bloody hell, he's using DNS as a distributed information serving resource, as it was designed to do! Bloody hell, the only point you have to make is criticise his spelling! Bloody hell you sound the comic book guy from the simpsons!

    Bloody hell the overly violent geek reaction is so very two years ago, it makes me want to rape you with a porcupine.

    Not really that funny now is it?
