Hi,

I had a short look at your make_it_cool branch. Taking away the restriction of 
KIO transfers smoothes the path for a bittorrent implementation. 

I guess all bittorrent implementations must have full control over the 
destination url in order to hash and offer already downloaded chunks. With a 
filecopy jobs this was not easily feasible asfaics.

Tell me when your plugin api has stabilized. I thought about maybe giving 
libtorrent (http://libtorrent.rakshasa.no/) a chance. Or do you have plans on 
a homegrown implementation?

Regards,
Felix
