This is shame that there can't be some bridging. See:
http://bitzi.com/developer/code
I don't know if this has been discussed before, but bitzi provides
metadata lookup on files, including SHA1 hash.
It would be really nice to be able to use bitzi to search for files, and
then locate them on freenet.
There are already over 1 million files indexed on bitzi.
From what I have seen here, interoperability in freenet has always been
a major concern. Why not with this issue?
Okay, sorry, that last bit was a joke. Seriously, I am interested in
what people think about this approach for searching. I know there is
freegle, but since that is freenet specific, it seems like something
like bitzi (which will be useful also to the gnutella community who are
working on support for it) could be great.
