Blog Torrent Beta Released

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the certain-people-are-nervous dept.

chatooya writes "Downhill Battle has released the first public preview of Blog Torrent a "simplified" BitTorrent package that they developed because, "Making it easy to blog large video files means that people can share their home movies the same way they share their photos or writings." Features include: integrated torrent creation and upload, simple non-MySQL installation, and an RSS feed for every tracker. Currently Windows only on the client side, but Mac and Linux versions are in the works."

  1. How can this work on a small scale? by Fluidic+Binary · · Score: 5, Insightful

    If bittorrent works off many users sharing bandwidth at once, I fail to see how this would help most blogs that don't have huge readerships.

    Any retorts?

    I probably wouldn't, but I'd certain be willing (forced) to share with others AS I downloaded it. This would certainly be useful.

    Plus it lets the blog owner use their home connection bandwidth instead of their blog/server bandwidth...
