Providing bandwidth is part of the cost of doing business. In the grand scheme of things and the billions they make, the little that it costs them for bandwidth isn't much. If it's for performance not cost, then use some of their many "partners" to distribute the patches/downloads across the globe. To me it's ridiculous pushing/forcing their customers take part in a P2P network. -- "Coding in C#, or any other object oriented language, is *not* programming.
