What is Guerilla Network Trading?

From http://www.gnutella.co.uk/guerilla/

What is Guerilla Network Trading?
A program made for spreading political propaganda in countries without the freedom of speech. Guerilla Network Trading is a distributed file system using network in network, inspired from Gnutella. The princip is, if you have a client, that client knows 3-5 other computers, that knows 3-5 other computers..... The problem using Gnutella is the traceability with downloading, the search for something is distributed, but the downloads is still performed peer to peer. We have (with the loss of performance) made a piece of software that downloads though the network in network. This means, if you are computer A, that searches for a file, and that file is found on the computer D, then the download could be from d-c-b-a. The point is that you never will know!

Due to the performance in this kind of file transfering, it is recommened only to use with high bandwith, and not with too many computers (100 computers is preferred). The communication between the clients is done by using RSA 2048 bit assynchronious cryptation and 128 bit blowfish. The cryptation between the different clients is also done with different blowfish keys, to avoid someone listening on the network and figure out who is sending the data.
