I agree that P2P filetransfer should be used whenever possible. A server should be used only if: - restrictive firewall or NAT make P2P impossible or difficult. - sending to a contact which is offline - willing to send the same file to multiple senders One could imagine that each contact has a shared folder (in another XEP) where all contacts could pick files from.
