Converting a movie file into DVD format takes a whole chunk-a-time and eats up a lot of CPU. For some people LW already uses up quite a bit of CPU (like, say, Mac users with the crappy Java implementation that Apple is forcing us to use...). I personally wouldn't like to have two such processes going on at the same time on my comp: it would quite surely be stuck for eternity (and a day)

And, although a top ten dlds wouldn't be bad, I figure (as a non-programer) that LW would either have to use some bandwidth to make stats in each machine (=Gnutella slows down) or there would be a central server or something which would make these stats and distribute them to the net. Plus, I figure that these stats would either change at the speed of light or just be plain "arbitrary" (=wrong).
