     None of the systems you named fit what I described, which is a
     network of explicit peering (each node chooses and cooperates with
     peers), using rsync to propagate multi-media hypertext.  Period.

   fantastic.

   then do consider putting in a funding request to NLnet to help validate
   that, and to financially support you and anyone else wishing to
   complete the work.

   also do look up rproxy, developed by martin pool, 21 years ago.  martin
   abandoned it because gzip compression interfered with it.  i never got
   round to suggesting to unzip the request before applying rhe rsync
   algorithm.

   the rsync algorithm was andrew tridgell's phd work into parallel
   computing.  rsync was merely the example implementation.  martin
   decided to apply the algorithm to HTTP traffic.  rproxy was the result.
