glance-bittorrent-delivery and VMThunder have similar goals ---- fast
provisioning
of large amount of VMs, and they share some ideas like P2P transferring, but
they
go with different techniques.
VMThunder only downloads data blocks that are really used by VMs, so as to
reduce bandwith and time required to provision. We have experiments showing
that only a few hundred MB of data is needed to boot an mainstream OS like
CentOS 6.x, Ubuntu 12.04, Windows 2008, etc., while the images are GBs or
even tens of GBs large.

This whole discussion reminded me of this:
https://blueprints.launchpad.net/glance/+spec/glance-bittorrent-delivery
http://tropicaldevel.wordpress.com/2013/01/11/an-image-transfers-service-for-openstack/
The general idea was that Glance would be able to serve images through
torrents, enabling the capability for compute hosts to participate in image
delivery. Well, the second part was where I thought it was going - I'm not sure
if that was the intention.
It didn't seem to go anywhere, but I thought it was a nifty idea.
