I'm personally sceptical that any kind of P2P based repository would work effectively for Maven users.
That said, we'd certainly consider a contribution of a provider to use it. Given there weren't any responses so far, I suspect that this isn't a priority for others, but that might change. I think it would also be essential that appropriate security mechanisms were first in place to validate the authenticity of the artifacts downloaded. The other concern I have is that I suspect you'd need to have Dijjer running and uploading artifacts. Since a great deal of users are in corporate envs, this is not going to be realistic.
