Apt-P2P and DebTorrent



Which is better to use, apt-p2p or debtorrent?  What about apt-transport-
debtorrent; will it talk to apt-p2p?  Can you use both, perhaps layering on 
top of an existing apt cacher?  Do both use your connection constantly?  I'm 
on a semi-metered connection on only want to participate in the swarm when I 
need to download files.

I have two systems, one of which gets all its apt repository data from the 
approx instance running on the other.  I'd like to keep it like that, but 
join the one running approx into one (or both?) swarms.  Is that possible?  
I'd like to not hit either swarm if I already have the file cached by 
approx, but I also want to benefit from the pipelining provided by the 
debtorrent:// APT protocol.  Can I do that with approx or any other apt 
cacher?
