Well, the still half formed torrent-like thought was that it would be
torrent-like so that different chunks of the file went to different
locations and were meshed from there. So the speaker at least would
essentially only have one upload going per se', that would vanish
after the file ended up "out there"

Selfishly this would be intended to congest everyone's network roughly
equally, and exercise all these fancy new queuing algos.
