Sorry to post this link, as I'm sure many of you have already seen it:

which was linked from

Has anyone looked into the design of BitTorrent? I'm curious what type of
algorithms they're employing for routing, bandwidth conservation, and content
detection. Also means of anonymity (if any). I took a quick peek at the source
code and it's almost all written in python, and looks like it was designed
more for a simple means of distributing files. Not much documentation, and from
the quick peek doesn't look like much design either. Just curious what other
peoples impressions are.
