The more people use this, the faster and more reliable it will get. If you have multiple computers in a local network setting up apt-p2p in every one of them would be insane. This simple hack allows to use one apt-p2p server for the whole network http://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=481243 saving bandwidth. On clients simply change localhost:9977 to servers IP e.g. 192.168.1.100:9977 Setting this address as a global apt proxy does not work because apt-p2p has to communicate with apt directly, so every deb line in sources.list has to be replaced. apt-p2p is potentially a very fast way to get updates to your Debian based systems.

This is as safe as downloading from a Debian/Ubuntu-mirror. Vikram, Debian/Ubuntu will warn when packages can not be verified and will ask you what todo.

It will also turn on deferred allocation as well. So you will get some of the benefits of ext4 without having to repartition and/or make a new filesystem You can mount an ext3 partition using the ext4 driver and it will make any future use use extents rather than using standard indirect allocations.
