I just noticed the cool WIRED story "Around the World in 80 Clicks" about NASA's World Wind open source app that displays 10 terabytes of Earth imagery on demand so I thought I would give it a spin (heh).

The story says "...When project manager Patrick Hogan unleashed World Wind, one of NASA's servers collapsed under a deluge of download requests - 100,000 a day - and the service went offline. This spring, it's back, with a bigger server..." and a BitTorrent link!

It's nice to see USA government scientists making use of P2P to save taxpayers' money.
