I think peer to peer is much better... 1. No one ask "can you add this picture to sa-mp?" 2. No one ask "can you add more objects to sa-mp?" You can add it by yourself and the players can download this shit when he connect the first time to the server... Much better than every other shit! And dont say "Make a message with "Download the newest files for your client by blabla.com" Sucks and no one will do this shit!

So I do need to repeat this for the 100 time on this forum... GTA Sanandreas is NOT made to use any untrusted files like custom model files or texture files. The render engine is made to be fast and NOT secure because it was only designed to use files from Rockstar themselves with you should trust. If there where an auto downloading function inbuilt in sa-mp that would allow server owners to send files to the clients that would be an huge security risk. It wouldn't take to long before the to well known hackers would find a way to run any code they like on any players computer that joins there server using the security holes in Sanandreas rendering engine. Thats why adding the power to the server to send custom files to the clients WILL put an end to sa-mp!

The only reason why MTA doesn't have this problem is because there community is about 5 (based on forum users and users online compared to sa-mp) times smaller. Hackers are always interested in where they can make the biggest damage. It's just like in the os word linux and mac is only safer just because they got less users.
