Yes, I agree with you. In fact I was thinking that the best would be a little different from this first idea. With P2P system and e-mails people can share/send files one to each other but the problem is that in these way there can be milion copies of the same file. So, why don't find a way to have a few copies of a file in some computers and, if a need a specific file, I can download it temporarily from these computers but I won't have save it permanently on my PC. Obviusly, everybody share a little quota of their disk space and so the system is equal for all users. The main thing is that there are only few copies of a file. This will be mostly suitable for files that are not intended to be changed like PDFs, audios, videos, presentations... This will be suitable also in a smaller scale, for example... in a company a system like this can be adopted to share files among all employees. I remember that some times ago in a company in which I worked there had been some problems because there where a lot of copies of same files (prevalently ppt presentations). The problems could be: * availability of the files 24h/day - 365/year * long time to download files * need to repeat download every time for the same file (I mean, if I want to re-read a PDF, I'll have to download it once again): this could be avoided with something like "my favourites" that shorten the download time.
