I suggested torrents a while ago, but so far nothing yet. There are also registered torrents, but in the end the website would still have plenty of bandwidth just keeping track of who got what, that the site would end up seeding about just as much as they would uploading via http (as there are always many more leechers online than seeders).
Torrents would make sense if the schools that registered for the device help seeding those torrents (eg in school off hours).

or torrent 1.5gb out of the 1.6gb (split the file into 16 parts), then you have to downlad the last part from them.....
but then sharing a 0.1gb file would be easier too.... so whatever
