This is interesting because the original BitTorrent was an interesting innovation, and it's the same people behind this. So I'm curious what (if any) interesting ideas they've had. But the page is light on details. How does this 'live streaming' differenciate from normal bittorrent?


I'm curious as to the tech details myself. One problem of classic bittorrent for livestreaming, afaiu, is that it derives its speed from downloading pieces of a file randomly. For livestreaming, you probably need a different algorithm.
