It seems like the serverside resource requirements to help with the privacy preserving aspect (and also to avoid DDoSing the data providers) would be non-trivial for a FOSS project like this.

I was wondering if a torrent-based architecture, where clients share updates with each other would help reduce the load. Any idea if it's been considered or would it just overcomplicate it for the number of clients involved and/or the latency for updates be too much to be of use?
