BitTorrent Beefs Up Network Capabilities

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the defeating-the-purpose dept.

1sockchuck writes "BitTorrent Inc. is boosting its network capacity as it prepares to become a centralized hub for legal video content. In May, BitTorrent announced a deal with Warner Brothers to distribute its TV and movie content via the BT platform. It has now lined up IP transit for streaming videos at one gigabit per second."

    Last I checked, 1GB was about the smallest line you can still lease in most of the world. In some places that's being rolled out to homes. But this is America, so WOW THAT'S FAST.

    But still, pretty funny unless you're stuck in 1993.

    AC: Thank you Kokgobbler Mister Sticky Britches for that insightful post! It contains the pitiful "-1 flamebait" and "mod me down" tagline that is sure to please and get you "+5 Because we are idiots that lap that shit up." Personally, sir, I would love to comply with your wishes and mod you down, but alas, I can't. So what you think?

    MSB: Gobble Gobble Gobble!

    AC: Um, yeah, that's what I'm talking about. You are trying to say something, but with that kok stuffed down your throat, it's kinda hard.

    MSB: GOBBLE GOBBLE GOBBLE!

    AC: Okay, I think I'll get out of here and let you keep on fellating the /. crowd.
