Re:Bittorrent

Here's a practical, legal use of BitTorrent:

I'm developing a system for TomTom to distribute digital maps (on the order of 1 or 2 gigabytes each) via BitTorrent. It will save a lot in bandwidth costs, because we distribute millions of maps over the internet. By their very nature, digital maps work well with BitTorrent because people in the same geographical regions all want to download the latest map of their region at the same time.

I was very happy to hear the announcement from BitTorrent and Comcast, that Comcast wouldn't be fucking with BitTorrent streams any more, because that would interfere with our customers' legitimate use of the internet services and content they're paying for.

You mean like the World of Warcraft Patch system or, more recently, CBC Television's release of a show using bit torrent? Its happening slowly but surely, and the more who do so and see the benefits the more that will.

Plus i'm sure your first responder there is not alone in making use of bit torrent for legitimate commercial applications.
