Neat small soft.

I have a long history of starting development of nice tools that are eventually created by someone else ;)
The only exception was GeekCredit, but I've abandoned it and iWatt.

Last time ( right after google desktop search tool appeared ) I've started writing the proxy like this one:
http://www.projectcomputing.com/resources/desktopProxy/
I had slightly different purpose and thanks to extra-liberal license I can use this code to make it more useful for file-swapping using Azareus ;) Will see if I will abandon this projects like all others non business projects.

The most difficult part is motivation - usually I am starting writing code in the periods when I don't code much at work, but now I do and still want to try that ;) Will see. I really think that using google desktop proxy to allow distributed search might be useful for BitTorrent, if implemented properly.
