Aren't you trying to do something that BT doesn't do? BT is good when you
have lots of people who want to download a file and lots of people have the
file. Then transmitting the file is broken up among many people. In your case
only one person has the file(s) and you want to copy them to a few other
people. Seems to me like you are trying to use the wrong tool.
