Spam Mimic is cool, isn't it? But, not opensource.
I have written sporgebots before, but it tends to add a lot of bulk. (Like every 1 word adds 10 words to the letter... and up). It can still be filtered for. (I also was involved in the development of a sniffer in use in China).
I think this is a good idea... using Spam Mimic or something similiar, and it should be understood that there is plenty of room for more projects such as these.
As it is, SSL is still a very common encryption method. They have to sort through all legimate uses of SSL in order to raise red flags... or they have to restrict all usage of SSL. Which will hurt their economy, and we are totally prepared to deal with, anyway.

Works fine on my Mozilla. (Version .8)

Open link with jnlpfile from the webstart download window.
FAQ's 1,2,3 in support answer these things. It should be noted that cable modem users often like to download large files. For instance, a Linux ISO.
Believe it or not, but very often those very large files are not accessible because too many people are already downloading it. In fact, you don't even see that many movies, for instance, on the internet, as there could be... because of these bandwidth problems.
Even though, so many cable/dsl users are happy to pay for that extra bandwidth.

1. Download speeds are slow
There are two possible causes for this problem:
You are using a dialup connection or a shared (LAN) connection that is busy. Swarmcast ensures that you get maximum usage of your download bandwidth. It can't, however, give you more bandwidth than you already have.
The mesh isn't large enough to efficiently distribute the download effort. Swarmcast-enabled downloads go faster the more nodes there are in the mesh. If you find the download unacceptably slow, try getting friends to join the mesh with you. If you are the only user in the mesh, you'll do a straight HTTP download. Remember, Swarmcast is usually faster than straight HTTP, but it's never slower.
2. Installation is inefficient
For the time being, Swarmcast must be installed and updated using Java WebStart. We are aware of the limitations this imposes, and are developing a more efficient solution.
3. The Swarmcast installer is too large
This issue is related to the use of Java WebStart as an installation tool. We are developing a solution.

Imagine you have a 500mb file. Are you going to share one that people think suck? Can you handle more than one person downloading a 500mb file from your cable modem?
With swarmcast, the load is distributed. If people like the file, they will stay in the mesh. Just as with gnutella, if people like the files they have, they will share them. (And, get kicked off their ISP because of their piece of shit TOS).

*My* Large File *I* Want to Share

You have a large file, you want to share it, this is what swarmcast is for.
Here's *a* scenario: You made a movie. You want to share it. It becomes popular. Other people like the movie and want it to get around. (After all, they were the first in this cool movie, they want to see it popular).
Or, imagine fifty people downloading a 500mb file in one night from your apache on your cable modem.
There are many other possible scenarios.
This is a very real problem. You can search for the hottest movies on Gnutella, through BearShare - which is simply the best clone yet made - for instance, and find about 75 returns. The problem is in trying to DOWNLOAD it.
Swarmcast is the solution to that. With Swarmcast, the downloads would always be available.

(I am liking this alpine for a messaging solution, though).
