Peter, a lot!
Event bittorrent is already an alternative to content distribution in MANETs. In a general way, TCP isn't so good to MANETs because the overhead in handshakes and the well-known problem of delays and packet loss be interpreted by TCP as congestion. So, TCP will reduce the next window to avoid the supposed "congestion". Recently, my work was develop a multicast content distribution protocol to MANETs. I used UDP and the results were good. It'll apear in IEEE WCNC (in April). I'll add It to the contribution section of NS-2 Wiki. Take a look in there to see what is already avaiable.
