Description

Currently, bittorrent indexes are disconnected from one another. Syndication of releases between indices is only possible manually. This silos releases, which is unfortunate, and losing an index might cause a great deal of content to be lost.

Some form of automatic peering/syndication of content between indexes would go a long way to solving this issue.

Thoughts:

- Release updates should be signed by the uploader, as well as by the index. This would allow an index receiving the update to decide to trust it based on the uploader's signature, and/or the index's signature.

- Activitypub seems like a good base to explore.
