There was a paper on caching feasibility for P2P networks presented at the last Web Caching Workshop: "Are File Swapping Networks Cacheable? Characterizing P2P Traffic" by Nathaniel Leibowitz, Aviv Bergman, Roy Ben-Shaul, Aviv Shavit http://2002.iwcw.org/ IIRC, the authors have implemented a P2P caching system, and the paper has interesting real-world measurements and caveats.
