[0]Max Sayre writes "Have you ever tried to download an operating system
update only to have it fail and have to start all over? What about
patches for your favorite games? World of Warcraft already uses
Bittorrent technology as a way to distribute large amounts of content at
a lower cost to the company and faster speeds to all of their clients. So
why haven't they replaced the standard downloading options built into any
major OS? Companies like Opera are including the downloading of torrents
in their products already and extensions have been written for Firefox to
download torrents in-browser. Every day Bittorrent traffic is growing.
Sites like OpenBittorrent already exist and DHT doesn't even require a
tracker. So why isn't everyone doing it? Is it finally time to see all
downloads replaced with Bittorrent?"

ffffl*ckr — Use it to find the Flickr photos you like using the simple idea that people whose work you like, probably like stuff you'll like. You start with a set of pictures. If you authenticate, it'll use 20 of your last 100 favorites, otherwise it'll start with somebody else's favorites. Click any picture to load more. Don't like what that person likes? Scroll back and click a different picture you like. [more inside]posted by netbros at 4:18 PM - 0 comments
