I know that people like BitTorrent, and it that it is a nice P2P-System.
But what is the point of a second distribution system besides a 
perfectly working distribution system that uses already existing staging 
points?

I don't see an advantage in BitTorrent. It needs new software, users to 
spread data, extra administration, support. Moreover jigdo is IMO the 
best way to spread Debian CDs, thanks to the nature of ISO9660.

I'm shure there must be more arguments...
