I have been using these for quite a long time. I have never really thought about which to use though for content distribution so I through i would get a few opinions.

Content - Ebooks All legal Material

Size- Some collections are quite small and only contain one file/chapter. Other collections of large books may contain many chapters and can be up to 500 MB

Resources - Have ability to set up tracker so that is not an issue.

Users - Mostly average Joe computer.

Personal Thoughts - Most users dont need to download the entire book at once, after all it takes awhile to listen to the stuff in the first place. Although you can select the files you want to download, Joe Computer may not be able to. Wheras with a Gnutella client Joe can download one file at a time. (I believe you can do collections) and play the file within it.

Sharing - Which traverses firewalls better? I just normally open the port for the app I am going to use. So I dont have much experience uploading material with the ports closed.

Thanks!
