(sorry for long response, back from holidays :])

Well, of course, I thought about that, but the problem is that I don't 
have much bandwidth at my office (that's where the updates would be 
available from). So using P2P would alow me to set a client at my office 
sharing new files and that client would only upload these new files to a 
few remote clients. After that, the update would be available from other 
clients, helping me to upgrade the rest of my network and using my other 
remote client's bandwidth.
