Swarmplayer, live video/audio over bittorrent

[dickcheney]

Cool new software allows for live streaming over bittorrent. Now we can have one torrent of The Alex Jones Show which follows the infowars audio stream.

You can get the software here
http://www.p2p-next.org
trial.p2p-next.org

this takes special new torrents that end with .tstream

Some video on demand content is here: http://eztv.it
explanation of how to download it here: http://eztv.it/tstream/tstreamhowto.html

more content here: http://www.cs.vu.nl/~arno/vod/

There isn't any live content being hosted, but I tested it with Alex's 32k stream, it works fine over a local network. Unfortunately, broadcasting live means there is only one seeder (heavy load) and if it goes down, and doesn't get fixed, the torrent dies.

With independent carriage, GCN doesn't look quite so important from Alex's point of view.
I can see the smoke coming out of Ted's ears now.

Ted is doing a good thing by syndicating Alex though.

I heard Alex mentioning that it costs him $6000 a month just for streaming....
