First; DNS currently is not used by most people, let alone bots.

Secondly It doesnt matter what are you willing to download, the question is how on earth am I supposed to know that you have the data I am looking for?

Thirdl, if your solution is " always download and horde everything that anyone publishes" then I personally and many more will start spamming the hell out of you until most nodes give up and churn, just to troll or to use you as a free storage system.

And that is before getting to the freshness of data.

My point is, claiming that you can have a full replication of open data with redundancy is just false, you either have to sacrifice redundancy (centralisation) or sacrifice full replication or sacrifice openess (make it paid like bitcoin).

And as soon as full replication fails, you are back to; who has the data i am looking for? I have a URL, where is the server, the only way to do this reliably is structured networks, not gossip.
