Large Scale P2P Distribution of Open-Source Software

Open-source software communities currently face an increasing complexity in managing and distributing software content among their developers and contributors.

We propose a large scale P2P distribution system that tackles two main issues in software content management: efficient content dissemination and advanced information system capabilities.
