When Joey Hess decided to get rid of all his non-free packages, I snapped up distributed-net, but I was a bit too hasty. It has a rather large number of bugs filed against it, and it's been exhibiting some weird behavior (apparently caused by the glibc2.1 move). And being a binary-only package, it's a bit hard to debug. So, I'm putting it back up for adoption.
