Private network p2p files updates

Question

all!

I'm currently working for a project involving deploying netbooks to the villages for educational purposes. Because of the slow connection (if there's any at all) there, it's hard to push content updates (basically synchronising files with server content).

We are thinking about zombie-like p2p updates, when someone from village comes to the city and updates his/her netbook. Then other netbooks from the village would get updates from the netbooks, which was updated in the city.

I would appreciate if you could guide me on existing solutions to this problem. I tried to google it, but found nothing.

Unfortunately we don't have programmers in our team, so we are looking for finished products. E.g. installing some program (utorrent) which would run on netbooks and check wifi network every 1 hour.

Villages do have wifi.

Thanks.

So looks like there's no ready solution for p2p updates. We are thinking about using p2p tracker system instead.

Overall, seems like p2p is not the best option for updates, especially if content is sensitive.

Thanks.
