Dunno what you mean by P2P. Bittorrent?
My understanding is that jigdo and bittorrent solve different problems
(and can be effectively used together)
jigdo will figure out the contents (files) packed into an ISO and not
transfer repeats. This can significantly reduce transfer-sizes.
P2P is for more efficient net usage and not loading individual servers
(though I dont know too much about it)
