Possibly building a java/flash app that will automate the torrent process for music torrents; Getting it is down to grooveshark/pandora level of just "type in artist/song name"?
I'm not an expert in flash and not sure if a flash app would allow a remote connection to a server other than the one where the flash app is hosted. I think some XML file is required on the other server that flash will look for to see if theres a wildcard to allow any domain to connect... I saw an exploit once for twitter or facebook that used this. I am quite positive this could be done with java though.
Basically a torrent client in java/flash that downloads mp3's only. Because mp3 files are fairly small the downloaders not becoming seeders shouldn't be much of a problem (so long as desktop torrent clients grow as the music site grows, which I think it will).
EDIT: I think this is a fairly good and obvious tactic to create the next big thing. Basically take a desktop app and find a way to put it on a website. Eliminating the need to download an app (torrent client in this case) can dramatically increase popularity.
