Could this be a replacement for torrents? I don't understand why someone couldn't write a BitTorrentish client in Flash/Air. It could really lower the barrier to entry for many people. Have you tried explaining how to use the BitTorrent protocol to a lay person? Seriously, if the Pirate Bay offered an in browser Flash based P2P client that was interoperable with other BitTorrent clients, that would really shake things up. Personally, I don't believe that keeping the browser open is really that much of a problem. I keep Meebo and GMail open all day. It's been said, Firefox is the new Emacs; just another operating system.
