I do worry a little about network fragility here, as well as
extremely variable performance. Randomly-selected job nodes could be
shuffling those files halfway across the globe so either upload or
download (or both) will experience high round-trip latency as well
as potentially constrained throughput, packet loss,
disconnects/interruptions and so on... all the things we deal with
when trying to rely on the Internet, except magnified by the
quantity of data being transferred about.

Ultimately still worth trying, I think, but just keep in mind it may
introduce more issues than it solves.
