peer-to-peer sharing of Zero Install packages

Zero Install is a decentralised installation system. Meta-data about each package is published in a "feed" file. Before downloading a package over the internet, 0launch can check to see if any nearby machines have a copy, and get it from them instead if so. This will normally be much faster. The secure hash from the feed is used to check that the software hasn't been modified. http://0install.net/0share.html Network
