    It'd work on PCs, but it'd probably never pass muster on consoles. PS2 probably couldn't handle the multitasking (meaning that it'd only seed the torrent while in POV itself), and Microsoft doesn't even let software open port 80.

    The XIV update is P2P. I don't know if it's BitTorrent proper under the hood, but players do seed updates to other players while downloading themselves.

    Nothing in the above post is intended to disparage Square Enix or FINAL FANTASY XI, or to criticize Square Enix staff; such behavior would be a violation of the FINAL FANTASY XI User Agreement. Any such violations of the FINAL FANTASY XI User Agreement should be reported to Square Enix immediately, by using the "Report Post" icon in the bottom-left of forum posts.
