If anybody has tried this, I'd be interested to hear whether on-net

The local seed would serve bulk of the data because as soon as a piece

and bandwidth is there, as is the case for ADSL/cable clients, usually
>80% of a file is served "locally".
I don't think additional optimization is done nor needed in the client.
