1) Speeds the spreading? NO, the user has to know it exist before he can download something. So no benefit from here...
You get faster speeds
from what i remember, you don't

2) P2P are FULL, and I repeat FULL of virusses. You never know if the file you're downloading is virus-free...
Bit torrent is not and i repeat NOT
you want me to put one on it now?

3) Speeds up the downloading? NO, you still have to download the same amount of bytes
But it's quicker cus bit torrent is faster than an overloaded server
not if you never upload anything

4) Convenience? NO, the user need to have a P2P client in order to be able to download anything from it...
Bit torrent app actually, and many do... those who don't can still get normal .exe.. saves some bandwidth on the several thousands that have it
bandwidth ain't a problem, but it might on the client-side, which means bittorrent downloads will be slow as hell. (if the client doesn't upload)
oh and people want plus!, not some other application.

5) Download speed? NO, downloading from P2P is far slower then downloading from a site directly...
On popular torrents I get speeds of up to 60 kb/s compared to 58 kb/s on uber fast Microsoft servers.
heard of a download accelerator?

6) Available latest version? NO, on P2P there is no way to control/check what the latest version is...
There is if Patchou supplies the torrent 
anyone can supply a torrent and say it's msgplus.

7) User information/convenience/related info/etc...? NO, there is no way that you can replace the informative original website with a P2P download...
You can have it as well
others can just put their own fakes
