No - file sharing systems pose too great a security risk.

With respect, I disagree: Bittorrent is a proven application, using
dedicated ports, and users can run it on either Linux or MS, whichever
they're more comfortable with. I don't feel it's any added risk: it's open
source, is patched quickly, and has a good user base. The bandwidth savings,
IMNSHO, justify the effort.

YMMV.
