   [1]BobPaul writes "While the [2]eXeem project to decentralize
   Bittorrent remains in [3]open beta, the [4]Azureus Java Bittorrent
   project has recently released a major update that, among other things
   offers 'a [5]distributed, decentralised database that can be used to
   track decentralised torrents. This permits both "trackerless" torrents
   and the maintenance of swarms where the tracker has become unavailable
   or where the torrent was removed from the tracker.' It doesn't contain
   the search functionality of eXeem, but it's also not a beta product
   and is licensed under the GPL. Could this and compatible clients be
   the replacement to SuprNova and Lokitorrents, or does the lack of
   search negate its effectiveness?"
