EZTV (and probably sme other sites) as well as some legal sites are starting to add a new type of torrent file that allows you to stream their releases using the BitTorrent protocol so instead of having to wait for your torrents to finish downloading, you can stream them and watch them right away as you are downloading them instead of having to wait.
Now if that's not something that's got a lot of potential for XBMC users, I don't know what is!
Unfortunately I'm totally lacking in any of the necessary skills to do something about it, but I'm hoping that someone on here might also think it's a worthwhile project and take up the mantle and give it a shot. What do you guys think?
I doubt I'd be allowed to link to EZTV here, so I'm not going to but I'm sure everyone know's where to find it, or know's how to use a search engine.

Quote:SwarmPlayer is a Python (programming language) based BitTorrent Internet TV viewer. It allows you to watch BitTorrent-hosted peer-to-peer digital media distribution of video on demand and plays live Tribler streaming media. It is based on the same core as the Tribler TV application.http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/P2P-Next
The core software is free and open source software based on the Tribler platform, licensed under the LGPL 2.1
Quote:The European Union's P2P-Next project to develop an internet television distribution standard will build on Tribler technology under development at the Delft University of Technology
