Some good news: Aljoscha and I have been awarded another grant by the NGI Zero Commons fund. We’ll use this to work on “Bab”, a new hash function we want to use with Willow. It will give Willow torrent-like parallel downloads of chunks of large downloads, safe resumption of downloads after connection failures, and integrity-verified propagation of partial data.
Aljoscha has written more about Bab here: https://aljoscha-meyer.de/posts/bab_funding/index.html#bab_funding
