This is Kenosis-enabled BitTorrent. Using Kenosis, we've eliminated
|
|
the tracker as a central point of failure for BitTorrent downloads.
|
|
Kenosis-enabled BitTorrent is 100% backwards compatible with existing
|
|
BitTorrent clients.
|
|
|
|
Kenosis-BitTorrent uses torrent files which specify a tracker of
|
|
the form http://hash.bt.kenosisp2p.org, where "hash" is the hash
|
|
of the original file.
|
|
|
|
Kenosis-BitTorrent downloaders will notice that this is a kenosis
|
|
url and use kenosis to find the tracker that is handling this torrent
|
|
file. Standard BitTorrent downloaders try to resolve hash.bt.kenosisp2p.org
|
|
as normal. Our dns server will look up the hash in kenosis and
|
|
return to the client the ip address of the kenosis node that is
|
|
tracking that file. If that tracker becomes unreachable, subsequent
|
|
lookups for that hash will switch automatically to the next available
|
|
Kenosis-enabled tracker.
