is anything being attempted to use p2p with distribution? something
like bittorrent could be helpful for cd upgrading after jigdo pulls
out the old files that are the same for the new iso, bt can then p2p
share the old while downloading the new rather then hitting ftp
mirrors. and i know more people that run p2p on broadband then
people who can donate reliable ftp server space. just a random
thought.
