P2P Content Delivery for Open Source

Posted by timothy on from the sounds-smart dept.

Orasis writes "The Open Content Network is a collaborative effort to help deliver open source, public domain, and Creative Commons-licensed content using peer-to-peer technology. The network is essentially a huge 'virtual web server' that links together thousands of computers for the purpose of helping out over-burdened/slashdotted web sites. Any existing mirror or web site can easily join the OCN by tweaking the HTML on their site."

    This is like decaf coffee and nicotine-less smokes.

    What good are these CPU hogging, network lagging programs if they aren't delivering pirated software and p0rn? I won't stand for this abomination!

    Well, at least until the next time I need to download the newest slackware...
