Is Rodi BitTorrent's Replacement?

tilleyrw writes "From ZDNet Blogs: 'Rodi is a small-client P2P application, written in Java, that improves on BitTorrent by allowing both content searches and full anonymity. It's released under the General Public License (GNU). Even your IP address can be hidden using Rodi through a process called "bouncing." That is, if A wants a file from B, they get C to agree to stand-in on the exchange. B gets C's IP address, not A's. Through IP Spoofing A can even hide their identity from C. Rodi can also be used from behind corporate firewalls and LANs using Network Address Translation (NATs), something most home gateways have.' "

Will the anonymity be a trade-off for speed ?
That, and is the anonymity real, at the socket level ?
And no, i didn't RTFA. Hit me with a stick.

Yeah, why would they ever think of implementing an application in a technology that YOU have found personally useful?
