I'm having a hard time to get a P2P image. I opened the demo in one window and opened a second one. After about ten refreshes I've got an image from a peer (presumably the other window as the shared counter went up by one). I repeated a bunch of times but it seems the rate at which images are served from a peer seems very low. Could you explain why? (I'm on Chrome 26.0.1410.43 m)

Other then that, sweet proof of concept.

Thanks! One possible explanation is that the coordination server, which tells you who has what files, is being slow. We're working on it.
