Well bittorrent is handy for people without a distribution network.
Those that have actual servers are much better off ignoring bittorrent
since it is a resource hog and a waste of time.

So redhat and debian and ubuntu should avoid bittorrent.

Individuals without such a distribution system can do qutie well with
bittorrent.

http://kernel.org/doc/ols/2008/ols2008v1-pages-173-182.pdf was a very
interesting paper and presentation on what is wrong with bittorrent for
large scale distribution.
