etka extinct - bittorrent online

[amalventano at sc.rr.com (Allyn)]

the issue with that is that it will go out 'into the wild', possibly
resulting in etka cracking down on stuff like this...
torrents also transfer in chunks (256k chunks for this specific torrent, the
value can be altered when the torrent is created).
the other thing is that not all listers would necessarily want to connect to
an all-out p2p network, making their files available to everyone. this way
the only files shared are the ones being downloaded...
