Microsoft Wants P2P Avalanche to Crush BitTorrent

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the bet-it-won't-be-open-source dept.

pacopico writes "Microsoft seems to think it can be the better Bittorrent. You know faster and more well-behaved. The Register has a story on the P2P work being done by Microsoft's researchers in the UK. Redmond reckons its "Avalanche" technology will be 20 to 30 percent faster than BitTorrent. It's meant for legal downloads only, of course."
