Background

So while 16k textures are lovely, we should definitely figure out a hosting + delivery method which is opt-in, and doesn’t overload our current we-get-it-for-nothing providers :)

(And indeed Bittorrent might be one solution)[1]


Idea

Prototype

We need to actually write a prototype, using libtorrent (or whatever is $sexy these days). Which would be welcome, just keep in mind it has to be a library solution we can ship as part of FlightGear, including on macOS and Windows: which means no weird malware installation or Windows Firewall warnings about us looking like malware...[2]
