It is trusted by over a million admins worldwide.
On Tuesday a(17th May), it announced an application called "BitTorrent Live" that applies its distributed file-sharing technology to video streaming at the Internet & Television Expo.
It is able to speed up file downloads by storing pieces of a file on computers throughout the Net and reassembling them when a request is made for the file. BitTorrent Live does the same for streaming live video.
A posting said that "BitTorrent has changed the way the Internet works”.
BitTorrent Live targets two big problems with streaming live events over the Net: latency and cost.
Latency is the lag time between when something happens at a live event and when the viewer sees it. With major events, latency can be 30 seconds to a minute.
Streaming an event can be costly as it requires expensive content delivery networks and costs rise as each new viewer is added to the broadcast.
Apple TV is expected to receive BitTorrent Live this week. A June roll out is planned for iOS and Android versions of the app.Initially, the app will have more than a dozen free channels. Premium and paid content will come later.
Noted Rob Enderle, principal analyst at the Enderle Group said that BitTorrent Live could have a significant impact on the streaming scene.
