I agree with you about Britney :-)

I have only studyed p2p technology (especially DHTs) as a hobby since there 
are no courses about p2p at the college where I'm a student. So I'm glad you 
bear with me in my lack of using the right techical term.
I was refering to an earlier thread on this list with the subject "How to 
solve the "Britney problem"?".

I never heard of Beehive, so I'll definently check it out.
