   what does !identica think about the idea of a social feed that uses bittorrent broadcatching to distribute images, music, videos, etc?

     Nice idea, but in an age of bandwidth caps, I don't want to download arbitrary things unless I'm interested in them

     okay. wouldnt you be subscribed to people? i'd think you could trust your subscriptions to not upload random things to you.

     not trying to argue, just clarify. IF you could configure it to only download stuff AS you are browsing your feed, or not to initiate ..

     .. downloads until you request it, would you mind that?

     torrents depend on others downloading the material you’re requesting. Great in theory, but doubt it is practical.

     okay. i guess it's a bad idea, then. oh well. i'm sure broadcatching would be neat in other areas, though, but i guess not for friendfeeds.
