Decentralizing Bittorrent

An anonymous reader writes "Exeem is a new file-sharing application being developed by the folks at SuprNova.org. Exeem is a decentralized BitTorrent network that basically makes everyone a Tracker. Individuals will share Torrents, and seed shared files to the network. At this time, details and the full potential of this project are being kept very quiet. However it appears this P2P application will completely replace SuprNova.org; no more web mirrors, no more bottle necks and no more slow downs. Exeem will marry the best features of a decentralized network, the easy searchability of an indexing server and the swarming powers of the BitTorrent network into one program. Currently, the network is in beta testing and already has 5,000 users (the beta testing is closed.) Once this program goes public, its potential is enormous. "

    File sharing is great, but if this thing delivered material in order, it would be the killer application of the decade.

    That TV2ME mentioned earlier on /. illustrates that some folks want to take their TV with them but the REAL KILLER is that anyone could broadcast anything with only a broadband connection and the carrying capacity would scale with interest in the broadcast material. ANYONE could operate an internet radio or teeVee station! Sure, it's not to the second live, but it's pretty damn near realtime.
