Any kind of FTP<->P2P gateway needs to translate names appropriately. It would be trivial for a script to take some of the information from the FTP directory and use it in the P2P namespace. Every peice of information does not need to be duplicated in both the path and the filename in order to save 5 minutes of time for the handful of people setting up such systems.

Well, then, the problem is the assumption of "handful". If the name is not standarized, we risk having multiple FreeBSD ISOs around, each with a different name.
