8 | Actually, I think a signed package would suffice. MD5 checksum perhaps.

13 That's why I proposed freenet, it is a distributed datastore with
14 p2p-like qualities. A file you put into it is mirrored around to other
15 freenet servers. If a file isn't requested for a long time, and space
16 is needed for newer files, it is purged. When you fetch a file from
17 freenet it can come from any number of servers that have the file.

19 It's worth checking out if you haven't played with it.
