What do you all think about using IPv6 for this purpose?
i need to second that , thats sounds like a great idea ;)
what would be required ?
cheers

F.Y.I.
The other major difference is the way they find their peers when
the tracker is not IPv6-enabled, as I expect them to be for at
least one more year. Azureus does run a DHT (distributed hash
table) on IPv6 and can actually find peers for popular content on
an IPv6-only network, while µTorrent relies on PEX (PeerEXchange)
to propagate IPv6 peers (means when µTorrent connects to a new peer
it got from the Tracker or DHT, it asks the new peer for all its
existing peers for this torrent and tries to connect to them). IIRC
µTorrent advertises it's own IPv6 address in PEX, which might shift
traffic more easily.
µTorrent has a 1-click button to enable Teredo (actually, to my
knowledge, to enable the IPv6 stack, nothing Teredo specific in
there), so I expect this to increase the number of IPv6-enabled
Windows XP boxes.
