@tv42 No, not meaningfully related -- I asked the developers of that project if I could reuse their name and they said sure. Their design doesn't use a Distributed Hash Table at all (I think their project maybe predates BitTorrent's DHT!), whereas one is central to this project's design, so there's little in common other than the general idea of combining Git and BitTorrent.

That's what it looked like, thanks. Take this as a FAQ suggestion.
