Note to self: BitTorrent load balancing
by Simon at 15:40 26/11/06 (Blogs::Simon)
Musings on the possibility (based on little information) of using BitTorrent as a load distribution network for static HTML resources.
An example would be:
<object data="bittorrent://filelocation/image.png" type="image/png"> <object data="http://www.domain/image.png" type="image/png"> An image served by bittorrent, fallback to traditional HTTP </object> </object>

Bittorrent (the Mac OSX client from the bittorrent web site) is weird. Sometimes it'll drop to 0 seeds in 0 peers and stay that way for a long time but if I exit and restart the client, it'll pick up new peers immediately.

Am I doing something wrong? Should I get myself a different client?

Dunno mate :-) I hear good reports of Azureus though.

Bruce and Dave are your men for Bittorrent knowledge I think.

ThereŽs Azureus and also a multi-user version called AzSMRC(that is used here the Dam as we have several machines d/lŽing from the same local network)

In a not-dissimilar vein, but targetted slightly differently:
