Hi. BT suffers from a basic problem: down-loaders of big files typically leave the torrent after downloading. This leads to an average upload/download ratio...
Any caching system like this does need to modify the protocol (well there are ways of getting round it). The basic problem is if you drop a piece as you are...

Cool... A BT expert! I like the idea of exiting a torrent to delete stuff, and then re- entering to download more useful pieces. A potentially workable...
