I guess you guys haven't heard about ACTLab TV's new streaming protocols, using the Alluvium software. We have a new system that streams video exactly how bit torrent spreads out file transfers over countless users. Basically, it's going to allow us (and anyone else that wants to look inside our open source software) to stream full-screen, extremely high quality TV from a cable modem upload. Imagine what can be done on a real server!!

read about it here:

so to sum it up, you're wrong. internet streaming video is about to take huge leaps and bounds in the next few years, most of them thanks to p2p protocols for streaming. Get ready. YouTube x 10 !!!!!

Here is an easy ay to package up a torrent.

Oh ok, thanks. I guess the combination of
a- summary not explicitly stating it wasn't finished (only that it is "fully portable" & "developers need help packaging it" (like everyone is supposed to know what that means)) &
b- this page stating that "Snakebite [...] works on [...] Windows" and "Here is where you download the .exe for Windows." without a link
left me somewhat naively hopeful and confused. (The ACTLab TV bastards getting my hopes up...)

Thanks again.

This is similar to another open-source endeavor called ACTLab TV, with which you can stream TV programs from multiple users in real-time. A story about ACTLab TV appeared about a year ago.

It is also similar to Songbird, the Itunes-like application that focuses primarily on enabling users to download DRM-free music from independent artists. Songbird was also covered recently.
