I'm a bit confused by your statement. Are you saying it's more
cost effective for ISP's to carry downloads thousands of miles
across the US before giving them to the end user than it is to allow
a local end user to "upload" them to other local end users?
Is this only a biproduct of the centralized downloads being throttled
by thousands of miles of network, and/or a single centralized server?
