i'm down w/ whatever you want to get going man, a group of people working together could do wreak *much* more havoc in these thieving circles..
does it really work?

are the files identified with filename and length? i was thinking maybe there is some sort of cheksum... because if you have a file and change the name, it still gets detected as the same file, so i dont think that has any effect... not sure about the bytelengths though..
