This is just where P2P and satellite data don't mesh. In order for the program to work and not be incredibly frustrating and boring, the tiles (imagery and elevation) have to be loaded at a somewhat speedy rate. Due to the way P2P has to find and connect to peers before it can start downloading tiles, it is just too slow for it to work well (and not make everyone unhappy/ the program useless). The other problem here is that there is hundreds of gigabytes composing of millions of files, so to be able to get full coverage of just one dataset would be an enormous effort.
