Sometimes I see multiple users download the same file from me. A bit-torrent style upload would have positive implications for the network, because it will improve transfer rates, increase the number of available files, and give leechers who don't upload slower transfer rates.
What makes you think those multiple users aren't sharing parts of the file among each other, since that is what they are already supposed to be doing, - unless they are either firewalled (=> they don't accept incoming connections) or using outdated servents.
