The center idea of the p2p protocols is to make the "upload" bandwith of the many many users the "download" bandwidth for the others. A great idea, but it is a design flaw to neglect the existing dedicated servers.
I see your point. but I'm not sure this can be done. p2p use to part the files in small chunks and take/send small chunks from/to different locations. I doubt the ftp protocol can do that. Can I, with ftp, call for, say, just one 512 bytes file part? in fact we may need a better file exchange protocol, md5sum based, collecting what the user needs anywhere it is... but this I can't do :-((( jdd -- http://www.dodin.net http://dodin.org/galerie_photo_web/expo/index.html http://lucien.dodin.net http://fr.susewiki.org/index.php?title=Gérer_ses_photos
