Description
Although not much practical use currently, we should be able to share mods via p2p. We should use some DHT, e.g. use trackerless libtorrent, ...
We don't need some ugly forum where people post zip files but instead they share magic links.
Everyone posessing a mod is a potential seeder of course.
This should be part of our mod manager, not the main game. Further ideas? 😀

Research direction
Start by locating the mod manager and reviewing how mods are currently shared or discovered. Evaluate the proposed trackerless libtorrent approach, magic links, and seeding by users. Done should mean a defined peer-to-peer sharing design integrated into the mod manager, with its scope and behavior documented.
