Well then, anyone have this code archived? Time to make sure it makes it to torrent networks. The only way we render the DMCA irrelevant is to make it useless.

Make sure to keep the checksums in place.

    Without a somewhat centralized codebase, development will be an absolute nightmare. Old versions floating about with bugs or so old there has been breaking changes in the API, and did you make your additions to the latest version...no wait, 4 people made different additions around the same time, but each released their own versions, and they were not based on the same version either. With no single place to report and collect fixes and development it'll be a fragmented pile of crap real fast.
