Hi Sweepicker, Morgwen,

hmm encryption is for sure a good idea! I find it hard to implement or to fit any needs: protect sharer and superpeers, protect traffic, fast and small traffic overhead, gurantee optimizing algorithms (query caches e.g.) still work and everything on a totally decentral system (which gnutella is). I guess FastTrack with a slightly centralized system has it much easier, with key management etc.

Does some concepts for gnutella or filesharing system allready exist, any ideas or URLs (at the_GDF)?
