No question that BitTorrent is an extremely good p2p protocol compared to Kazaa and stuff like that... It's pretty secure because the program runs integrity checks all the time, so any 'bad' data is automatically discarded (dunno if this would work very well on such a small file though???).
But...
1) It usually takes a while for transfers to reach a decent speed.
2) People aren't gonna bother to open their clients just to download 4 MB...
So even thought BitTorrent is brilliant for larger files, I think it would seem a bit ridiculous to use it for MsgPlus... Also considering that several people on the forums set up mirrors every time.

So you'd define BitTorrent as a server to peer transfer system? I can assure you it's p2p
