pplive.com — This is amazing. Look at what they are doing the Asia. This program provides LIVE TV (yes I mean live TV) feed to the masses using bit torrent technology. I know, I know, what they are doing might not be the most legal thing, but I think this technology has great potential. Check it out.

I just tried the SopCast player and it is really quiet good!BBC World News is about 2 minutes behind the actual broadcast from my cable TV service, this technology could great in the future...This is a big time DIGG from me!!!

That really doesn't make sense considering that you dont download chunks of the file in order with bt.

interesting, but it uses up all my upload bandwidth which slows down everything else.

There are slow channels and flawless channels, anyone know of channel listings that tell more about what each is broadcasting?Oh and within the first 5 minutes of using it Norton found like 5 new viruses, and I never have viruses soo maybe this thing could be downloading more than just tv. I don't really care since this isn't my computer, hehe.

SopCast appears to have a subset of the programs available on PPLive. SopCast's interface is simpler to use, but PPLive's list of programs is much, much larger.Should be interesting to see what other English channels are available. I'd love to see some NFL games on my computer, since I don't have a TV...

It will be fun when normal torrent data will be downloaded in sequence and while it downloads we can watch it with VLC player. Cant wait for this development.I know mongers will repeating the crap that torrents dont download in sequence. Just cut the crap, when your client picks up pieces from someone all we have to do is pick them in sequence. We can give a buffer of say pick the last 4 or 10 incomplete chunks/pieces to speed up the download.
