Some guys using Shareaza are trying the same thing you want to do. Of course it's not an exact science this way.

"Anyways, how the distribution will work is one or more people will be the "Splash Releasers" of the anime episode. Splash releasers must have either Cable, a good DSL or something higher (in bandwidth). They will host the file in their Shareaza library. They will un-share everything else in their library (their collection of shared files) except the anime episode. And they can only share the file to accepted Gnutella2 nodes (other Shareaza users). What will happen is the other people who are downloading the file will immidiatly begin uploading the file. This is in result of something called "Partial File Sharing". So in theory, everyone who is downloading the episode is also uploading the episode to someone else. The result of this is that the episode will get out to a lot of people extremely fast. The "Splash Releasers" will only have to upload to 5 people, and each of those 5 people can upload to 5 people, and each of those 5 people can upload to another five people. You get the idea

The goal, of course, is being able to immidiatly download any anime episode that has been released at speeds around 500kbps. This is done using file swarming, to where you download the same file off many people. The more people (or "sources") the file has, the faster it will download. Also, anyone will be able to go to Anenga.com go through the episode guides, see if they see an anime they like and download it quickly and easily. In comparision to having to wait on an IRC channel for hours in a queue slot off a slow FServ, this solution is pretty kick ass =)

Here is an example: .hack//sign - Episode 01 - Role Play

NOTE: You must have Shareaza v1.7 or higher (download the 1.7 beta) installed for this to work. And you must be connected to at least one "G2 Hub". Check your "Network" tab under "Neighbours" and see if you have a "G2 Hub" (look under the "Mode" column). Also, the only person on the network who has this file (AFAIK) is me. So you'll probably be added to queue for the file under me. If you get "No Sources" (and have a G2 Hub etc.) then I'm probably offline =)"
