[JDEV] File transfers

[Michael Rothwell]

I agree that p2p is more efficient for any single transfer. However, if both
clients are firewalled, they can't talk to each other.

That's probably better, but the gestalt of the discussion at the moment
seems to be "server-assisted transfers are stupid," which is why I posted in
favor of server intermediation. You pointed out another way in which
server-assist might be advantageous -- distribution.

If p2p is the One True Answer, maybe we should ditch the jabber server
altogether and just chat over gnutella.
