Why we don't use Bittorrent for the distribution of the satellite data: This is just where P2P and satellite data don't mesh. In order for the program to work and not be incredibly frustrating and boring, the tiles (imagery and elevation) have to be loaded at a somewhat speedy rate.

I wonder if there is a P2P mechanism out there that would do the right thing for this kind of application. </tangential> -- "Debugging is twice as hard as writing the code in the first place.
