arstechnica.com— A new video-sharing service from the creators of Azureus will offer massive files with no size limitations, all thanks to magic of BitTorrent.

"Maybe I'm crazy"I would say so. I'm curious how you imagine you are able to view a video without actually downloading it. I think you meant that YouTube streams it and Zudeo does not.
Is this only as crap as I experienced it to be, on a mac? Am I the only one who tried this, figured it was a java frame with an integrated Zudeo browser, changed my opinion on azureus, chucked it and switched to transmission? I mean come on! It's ugly - black plastic? And then you go "advanced" and you get a sort of cripplemix between the old and the new "webbrowser-azureus'? Is there any way to get rid of that zudeo banner they have stuck on what used to be one of my favorite apps? Nooooooo...... buhu .... *goes and cries about azureus*
I'm not sure what you mean by "cripplemix" under the Advanced setting. I'm on a Mac and when I'm under Advanced, it's the exact same Azureus as always, except for the blue banner now on top (or is that you're beef - the banner? Who cares about that as long as all the functionality is the same). I agree that I also thought that when I clicked on a video on Zudeo that some seperate player would start up and initially didn't realize that my Azureus would get upgraded, but really it's no biggie. Azureus is the same with a few added features. The UI on Zudeo could use some tweaking, but I imagine they'll perfect it over time.
that's cool... I wish they had a low-res version of the video for in-browser viewing before downloading a video I know very little about and then finding out it's crap.
So, if I made a video portal of high def content, the geeks would come? *ponders* If not 720p, at least higher than 320x200 resolution? Also, how important does everyone thing it to be able to discuss and comment on a video. I'm thinking very, and its the next feature I want to add with perhaps modified Slashcode, because I believe it builds a returning community where everyone has the ability to be heard and get up on the soapbox and argue their opinions pro or against a video.<a class="user" href="http://anarchy-tv.com">http://anarchy-tv.com</a>
OK....I ask a perfectly reasonable question, I get dugg down. Someone else criticizes it for being a Democracy clone in the next post, he is not affected.Whiskey Tango Foxtrot?
