LifestreamFrom Slashdot — BitTorrent Gains Corporate Support
BitTorrent is becoming a hit among companies required to distribute large quantities of data to their customers. Valve also jumped on the BitTorrent bandwagon last month, hiring its creator, Bram Cohen.
The one downside to Blizzards move is that BitTorrent has been added to many Universities black lists of clients to allow through their networks. Will the recent acceptance by such reputable companies open the possibility to Universities that not all P2P distribution is inherently bad?”
Interesting news. I was completely oblivious to Valve’s recent hiring as well. What can one say about BItTorrent except that it’s brilliant. And so simply you kind of wonder why no one implemented it before. My downloads have never been as smooth and abundant as the past year. I for one am an overzealous fan.
And like someone pointed out over at Slashdot, this will probably not easily change the attitude of Univ. If anything it will increase the amount of data being distributed via BitTorrent and really kill off their networks.
