I can easily provide information about the traffic caused by FreeBSD, split into HTTP, RSYNC, FTP. As you can see in the following graphic, we (ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de) have about no traffic at all to other users. Therefore, I do not see the need to use BitTorrent (assuming the current BitTorrent setup does not have way more traffic than HTTP/FTP). http://ftp.halifax.rwth-aachen.de/~cotto/rrd/freebsd%23month.png As a comparison, we only see significant BitTorrent traffic for the huge Linux distributions, especially after some release. Based on our numbers, I do not think that FreeBSD needs a very sophisticated solution here.
