We could use the edonky network for sharing the scenery and other flightgear 
relevant files. This would reduce the traffic of the official ftp mirror 
servers because users could download those files from each other
via the edonkey network.

I thought about creating edonkey links (hash values of those files)
which could be listed on the official flightgear website from
there users would only need to tell the hash values to their edonkey clients.
The only thing that is necessary would be one official flightgear edonkey 
client which is sharing those files in the edonkey network to make sure, that 
these files are allways available in the edonkey network.

What do you think about this idea?
