Package: apt
Version: 0.5.5.1
Severity: wishlist


Debian depends a great deal on the generosity of its academic and private partners to provide all the bandwidth for hosting apt's 
extensive software archive.  Ease of installation of this enormous variety of software is one of Debian's biggest strengths and the 
list of packages continues to grow.

As more and more packages grow in size and releases of unstable software see thousands of users upgrading daily, perhaps 
bittorrent could be integrated into apt for certain packages at the servers discretion.  The nano package probably doesn't need it, 
but OpenOffice might.

I don't code so I'm afraid all I can do is ask.  How severe are the technical challenges?
