  • This seems like a really great idea. In theory, it’s just a simple key value store with the key being the YouTube tag and the value being a magnet link. I see a problem though. When a user submits a new association between a Magnet Link and a YouTube tag, what verifies that that’s actually the appropriate file? It seems almost like the server would have to download the video itself, which could pose a really unreasonable load on it. Especially compared to the very simple task it initially set out to do. But without that verification, it seems very prone to abuse (e.g. someone submits every tag and says they’re all the rickroll video)

    It definitely seems worth doing though.
