That's about distributing packages via p2p. The problematic repository doesn't store any package data, it stores package metadata (it's the cocoapods index if you will).
I see metadata very much as "regular" data (in terms of needs and tooling); practically speaking, even from the same-ish data set. Simply put, it just looks different.. above the surface.
