Isn't anything which has mirrors a good candidate for BitTorrent? 
BitTorrent essentially just decreases the cost of being a mirror.

(I guess BitTorrent doesn't handle a site with lots of small files
well yet, but for a site with just a few large files I'd say there's
not really a time *not* to use it.)
