Hi,

I was doing some reading up after magnet links where mentioned and I came
across the Bitzi database (bitzi.com). The site basically provides
meta-data on files shared on P2P networks by assigning ratings and
recording comments. It would seem it would be useful to add support for
this into gtkg so bad downloads (files masquerading as other files) could
be skipped.
I may have a go at knocking something up but I thought a few questions may
be useful first :-)
1. Is anyone aware of any other P2P meta data services? I'm guessing if
there are I should think about a more generic interface.
2. When would it make sense to query the database? When a search results
come in? As a result of user action (download,explict query)? For all
files we track (dmesh etc..)?
3. If I did the back-end code for this would any of the GUI people be
interested in implenting the GUI side?
Any other comments or issues?
