Well, the presence of the DEADJOE file in the archive is not very promising…. :-)

[quote comment="182624"]Blocking Traffic of Canadaians to any site is fascism. I feel violated. Some free country. The internet as I knew is now gone. I think I will get rid of it now and move on to outdoor activities. Maybe I’ll should start wearing all grey and salute the flag every morning while I wait in line with my commarades for toilet paper and rice. What a crock of shit….[/quote]
Demonoid is the one doing any blocking. And that’s because they were pressured.
Just get a proxy and relak(k)s?

Wrapping another layer around an existing protocol is not exactly what I was talking about and pretty much all the solutions that exists today relay on methods that don’t stand a chance of surviving a big user base such as TPBs. Mostly due to a bottleneck effect but spoofing doesn’t really work either. I’ve not yet seen a working solution.

At any rate anonymity will severely reduced download speeds and that’s just not a good start, people will stick with their old stuff if the new stuff ‘doesn’t work’.

Although starting from scratch is of course a bit exaggerated every new protocol benefits from its predecessors but again just adding new features doesn’t cut it imo.

Concerning privacy there is nothing to work on unless you make MAJOR changes to the protocol and these changes would be so big you can better create a new protocol from scratch.

No need to start from scratch. Anonymous P2P and semi-anonymous (e.g. friend-to-friend) networks have existed for years and are continually be worked on. If you want to use them all they need is a userbase.
