I have thought that this would be interesting before.

Isn't Bob's Super Swiki hosted on his home PC accessed via his DSL 
connection?

It would be interesting to see projects, software, etc., networked that 
way so that those of us with broadband connections could share in the 
bandwidth of distributing the software. Distribute BSS. :)

I am not expert in peer-to-peer systems, so I speak out of ignorance. :)

It would be nice if there were a master system which overlooked the 
downloads and would be able to connect to the closest system which is 
available for downloads. I think this would help with global 
distribution and speed.

It would also be nice if security features were builtin and the ability 
for a peer to 'pause' accessability for personal use of their system, so 
that their bandwidth is constrained while they are actively on their system.

Just some thoughts.
