Hi all

Cheers,

No, but you may wish to keep an eye on a new technology called P4P (stands for Proactive network Provider Participation for P2P). It aims to minimise the number of hops required for the transfers by choosing the most local peers first.
I initially thought this would be an extension to the P2P protocol and implemented by client programs but it seems that it is more complex then this and requires involvement by the ISP to provide information to the P2P network to optimize traffic flow. You can try reading http://developers.slashdot.org/article. ... 14/1343215 for some more info
