Offline user tries to download ZeroUpdate
This request is announced to all other local peers, and if one is online, he can bridge the download or seed if it is already downloaded

I've been thinking about the bridging feature for long time, but I still have no good ideas on implementing it.

It's already working that way since the local peer discovery plugin

danimesq commented 5 years ago

But how offline user knows that online user bridge a download for he, that online user didn't haves?

HelloZeroNet commented 5 years ago

Of Course it's only working for sites that the other user already downloaded. I think it would be bad idea to run a proxy on a machine by default.

danimesq commented 5 years ago

Not to run a proxy, but receive notification that user wants to download contents to be bridged, then receive back when they are downloaded.
