Nice work! How do you plan on dealing with the leeching ratio though? It'll be far higher than traditional bittorrent (where the user leaves the app running in the background).


the status quo is essentially that everyone is 100% leech and downloading from the origin, so even if the ratio is worse than bittorrent, any peering would be a win.


Leeching shouldn't be too much of a problem: the user will upload while they remain on the page (which should be much longer than it took them to download the assets).
