The chumby seems to use some sort of P2P protocol. The alpha version
apparently used bittorrent, I do not know about the production model:
http://files.chumby.com/source/
Additionally, their license agreement forbids modifying a chumby in ways which
hamper its connection to the chumby servers or in any way hamper other
chumbys from connecting to your chumby. I would suppose that whatever you
happen to put onto your chumby _will_ become public in some way, shape or
form (granted that you don't break their agreement). Oh, and if you hack the
chumby, you void its warrantee.
