    This is a disaster.

    Being able to DNS (and do other tunnels) through pretty much any "open but subscription only" wifi hotspots as well as any other service provider was phenomenally useful (for a number of reasons where convenience trumped torrenting everytime). If torrenting through DNS becomes mainstream, then expect all those holes plus throttling etc etc to become widely adopted.

    Great proof of concept. Now you're in the club. First rule of DNS tunnel club is ?

    I did a similar thing a long time ago. http://netrogenic.com/dnstorrent/
