Hi,
Blizzard can make P2P work for WoW and Starcraft 2, why couldn't anyone
else?
AIUI their downloaders use both P2P (BitTorrent) and HTTP download
simultaneously so even folks who are on crappy "shaped" connections can
download the updates, but for those for whom P2P works well things go a
lot quicker. I think this would be a great idea, particularly if more
folks could become content servers as well - I'd be happy to run a
rate-limited content server to help out with updates for example.

issues.
Sounds like the proposed solution has been well thought out with none
of the pitfalls
of p2p rubbish and I look forward to it :)

A P2P system would propagate the updates faster. I'd surrender some
of my bandwidth if everyone else did too.
