#3It sounds like a great idea, but I'm curious how it will perform along side a traditional file sharing system. I'm not sure users will find the benefit. Windows allows cacheing of shared drives already.

It doesn't need to be on the same network.P2P can work across the web, so it's easy to sync between say a web server and a home pc, or between spouses' laptops.

#10This sounds like a problem only techies have, and already have solutions for, like centralized file servers. I don't sync files, I keep one copy of my files, and access them over the network.
