An apt proxy for Bittorrent

While I'm not having problems with downloading Debian packages (I have a cron job that downloads updated packages daily), I think that additional uses for bittorrent is a good thing. apt-torrent is a proxy for apt that uses bittorrent as the transport.
The question is whether individual debian packages will work well with Bittorrent.
A whole distribution works well, because it is a large file and many people download it at a single time. But is that true for any one package?
How long does it keep the bittorrent client opened? Which files are shared (only the one package you're downloading or all the packages that you may have already downloaded)?
