One of the problems with the torrent protocol is that its hard for a well

Is it actually that hard, or is it that the ISPs don't really want to invest
time/money into it?
To give you an idea, a net enforcer costs arounds 100K AU$ each, now one
per PoP, thats 7 here, however the amount of p2p use, that cost is
MORE then recovered in the FIRST month alone!
I'm sure the specialised devices that do this would probably cost around
the same, and again would pay for itself in very very quickly.
cache only specific releases (e.g. fedora iso) - but that would require some
amount of human work to decide what goes and what stays.
and here lies the problem.
