There's a libbt library written in C that could accomplish this without having to spawn a scripting language interpreter (eg python). >If I'm not mistaken, there's only one thing to add : >querying for the latest available torrent which must be signed by the db >authors : DNS would be great for this indeed (hash sigs prevent cache >poisoning and thus distribution of invalid db, but not DoS). I like this idea, but want to study it a little more as I'm afraid of what will happen when a virus comes out that DOS's clamav nameservers (thus preventing or making much more difficult the proliferation of signatures to detect it). I think in such a case though, a fallback of "poll for it anyway" would be sufficient but only if DNS A records are still responsive. -- Regards...
