Robin Good schreef gisteren over P2P distributie van rich media content. Een belangrijke ontwikkeling om de opdoemende internet-bandbreedte problemen (althans voor een bepaald segment van de internet-gebruikers) het hoofd te kunnen bieden. Ook hier blijkt dat uiteindelijk BitTorrent ‘de redder in nood’ is.Robin heeft meteen zelf de proef op de som genomen bij Prodigem, die een peer-to-peer content hosting service bieden.

About ProdigemProdigem is a content hosting service. It uses Bit Torrent peer to peer (p2p) filesharing to enable you to distribute extraordinarily large media files at an extraordinarily low cost. In fact, the service is currently free (but probably will not be forever). Prodigem is currently in a limited testers phase and will be opened to wider availability shortly. In the meantime, you can download content and see what’s available from the Prodigem Torrent Tracker.What is revolutionary here is that Prodigem completely automates the entire process of setting up bit torrent sessions for the distribution of your content. You simply upload your content via the web and with the click of a few buttons, the Prodigem servers are hosting and seeding your torrent for your content.
