IMVHO, the way to go is give bitTorrent support to giFT.
giFT uses plugins to get access to differents P2P protocols.
Currently, there are FastTrack (KaZaA), Gnutella and OpenFT
plugins.

In this case, we only need one client for giFT and we'll
support any kind of protocols supported by giFT whithout
change the UI (may be only to add configuration options)

Nowadays, exists a P2P client, named giFToxic, available
in GNOME CVS and Debian unstable.

I don't know if easy or not to implement bitTorrent as
plugin of giFT, it's just an idea.
