On the surface it would seem if the two clusters were approximatly the same you could have them working on projects in parallel rather than in serial. That is, just get it to render it itself and let the other cluster do the same on another project, won't have to waste time sending/receiving data either (how ever much reduced).
The problem with that would be that there is nothing to stop people working for RIAA to rate perfect copies as crap.
I think lightcycler was on the right track about having the trusted sources list and then you could share that with other trusted sources. Make it so RIAA clients/servers can all trust each other but it will take them having to share a good file with someone outside that "circle" until anyone else will. Probably wouldn't hurt to keep your list and others seperate in case they try and send off a few good files to get into the trusted "circle".
Tom7 also made a good points (since he did a paper on it and all:P ). Have to make identity creation expensive time/CPU wise so they can't just flood the network with dodgey users.
perhaps files should be stored (or at least indexed) from newest to oldest?
"The team also showed that deliberately storing information in a random fashion made the network function more efficiently and that there is an optimum number of copies of a file, related to the number of requests that file gets."
If files where searched in the order of newest to oldest it would be effectively stored randomly in an alphabetic sense. Then most importantly people are more likely to be searching for recent files and will get results for them sooner.
Caching of results of walkers before they are sent on, for a period of time, would surely help as well.
Telstra upped the bandwidth to 10Mbit/s about half a year ago but this was a while after they introduced a 3GB limit, after which you have to pay 13c/MB(AUD).
You can get popular files off their server at 500KB+/s which aren't included in usage though. From anywhere else the monthly allowance just gets eaten up too quickly.
I have also got up to 800KB/s off a local edu site.
I'm pretty sure they just took off restrictions rather than changing infrastructure.
In Australia all mobile phone numbers start with 04 and are then followed by 8 digits. So it is pretty obvious it is a mobile number.
Calls are at the callers expense.
The only time the phone owner will be charged for receiving a call, is if they are overseas and have international roaming setup.
Also it seems the US is the only country to currently have telemarketing as widespread as it is.

I tend to find it rounds it to the nearest multiple of 5. So 92 would become 90 etc. Reading some of the other observations I could have got it wrong but when I realised it didn't look right and adjusted images etc. so the cutoffs were in multiples of 5, it always seemed to work out ok. Actually that was for frames, not sure if the same applied for tables.
but it was suggested that there was no base stations and the system was run for free or at least at a reduced cost to the user. That is if the call could be delivered/conducted completely over a P2P style network there would be no cost involved for the user. That is I guess other than returning the favour to fellow users and letting their phone be used as a link in other peoples calls. I think the reward of there being no cost for some local phone calls would be better than just the hope of less base stations.
