But scuplties use really tiny textures. You could simply get LL to make
an exception for 64x64 textures. At 16 bit color, uncompressed, that's
just 8K. You could not compress it at all.

I don't think BitTorrent, or nearly any other P2P system for that matter
will work well for files that small. You'll probably have more protocol
overhead than data transferred.

Other than sculpties, I'd say pretty much everything looks almost as
good as possible.
