There's probably a Java P2P client. I suspect though, that usability issues
would be the same absent the ability to "... feed a URL..." It's an
intriguing idea, though. Such a browser-based P2P client would not be
possible in Javascript.
Is it worth the research, or should we rely on the user's ability to install
a P2P client? If there are Java clients (and a quick search did turn up some
hits that merit further research) the JRE would be required on that client
computer. Not a show-stopper ("Please install Java <here's a link> or these
P2P clients <here are links>")
