I don't either, though I recall bittorrent actually supporting it once and pushing to have ISP support and stay away from encryption/ISP circumvention. That was years ago. Haven't stayed current.
Plenty of people sell p2p caches but they all work using magic, smoke and mirrors.
Seem to recall some law suits concerning a few of them. Even if we had ISP supporting caches, there is always the problem getting p2p clients to support them (given they often are too busy trying to circumvent).
We had a great P2P cache from Cache Appliance. Did anybody else try them? -- Leigh
