	I've looked into it a bit. Discussions with the
creator of bittorrent have led us to belive it wouldnt
work all that well. 

	But I'd like to see a prototype anyway, just
out of curiosity. I started a little work on it, but
ran out of time. 

	If someone else wants to do it, that would
be cool ;->
