BitTorrent has an interesting design that enables each individual downloader to maximize his own download rate and locks out users who do not contribute to the system. For convenience, we include a brief summary.
The reader is assumed to be familiar with the BitTorrent protocol on which Tribler is based.

The Tribler download page lists two Linux sources: Ubuntu Linux and “GNU+Linux/Source”.Ĭheck it out, and let us know how it works for you (or, you for it).TRIBLER PROTOCOL SPECIFICATION V0.0.2, JANUARY 2009 A. If you're looking to help media evolve past the TV model, there's a rich pile of possibilities on the Tribler project list. The project's Research page lists 26 allied development projects, including six that are already completed and operational. Tribler provides an all-in-one way to find, consume and share media.īut Tribler goes beyond BitTorrent to support live streaming and other enhancements. The good doctor also runs P2P-Next's first trial application: Tribler (pronounced “tribe-ler”), a BitTorrent-based client with no servers and a “zero-cost” business model. “Everything we're doing is based on open source”, says Johan Pouwelse, PhD, scientific director of P2P-Next and Assistant Professor of Computer Science at Delft. (An additional 5 million euros is also being donated by some of the P2P-Next partners, for a total of 19 million euros.) The project has a four-year span and will include technical trials of new media applications on many devices. The purpose of the grant is “to develop a Europe-wide 'next-generation' Internet television distribution system, based on P2P and social interaction”. In the European Union, however, P2P is more than accepted: it's supported by the Union itself.Įarly last year, the EU granted 14 million euros to P2P-Next, a consortium of 21 media companies and universities, including the BBC, Delft University of Technology, the European Broadcasting Union, Lancaster University, Markenfilm, Pioneer Digital Design Centre Limited and VTT Technical Research Centre of Finland. Hollywood and its phone and cable company allies have long regarded P2P, and BitTorrent in particular, as a copyright piracy system and a bandwidth hog. Here in the US, the mainstream entertainment business has mostly been fighting it. You can fight that, or you can embrace it. P2P (peer-to-peer) is the nature of the Net.
