Here are some attributes that are a must for weblog P2P:

1. The complete "active" network must be visible to all users.  This means that a single copy of a file on a single active node is an available resource to all users.
2. Each file should be uniquely named and sourced.
3. Each file must be verified for authenticity. 
4. The P2P client software must be able to communicate with the weblog tool software using XML-RPC.  The P2P software should be invisible.
5. The classic search feature of P2P systems should be disabled or unavailable.  The only way to access the files on the network is via a link on a weblog or via RSS subscriptions.
6. Placing a file in a P2P folder should generate a unique URL that points to the location of the file on the P2P system.  This URL can be published in your weblog.  When someone clicks on it they will either begin the download (which is done immediately or delayed via preferences) or they are prompted to download the software.
7. Files on the P2P network can be delivered as part of RSS enclosures.
8. Multiple source downloads is a must.
9. The P2P client should be cross platform.
10. Optional:  Individual nodes can be turned off and specific files can be filtered.
