Why pirated Vista has Microsoft champing at the BitTorrent
As Microsoft Corp. gets ready to launch Windows Vista and Office 2007 to consumers, it claims a formidable new foe it lacked at its last major consumer software launch five years ago: the popular filesharing network known as BitTorrent. This third-generation peer-to-peer (P2P) service, already used by tens of millions of Internet users to swap digital music and movies for free, is becoming a popular mechanism for those looking to obtain pirated software.

10.2.2009BitTorrent and MPAA reach
agreement: Service will take
down links to
"illegal" content
Bram Cohen, the
creator of BitTorrent, and the
Motion Picture Association of
America (MPAA) have agreed on
a deal where copyright
protected content will not be
linked to on the
[url]www.bittorrent.com
website. The site will no
longer host links to illegal
content from the seven major
studios of the
MPAA.
The
BitTorrent protocol was
invented just a few years ago
by Bram Cohen and since then
has become one of the most
popular peer-to-peer programs
in existence. According to
some estimates, BitTorrent
traffic accounts for an
astounding 35 percent of all
Internet traffic. Some
universities and ISPs have
even banned the
protocol.
Unlike
traditional downloads where
many people download from one
server, BitTorrent
decentralizes downloads by
making everyone share the
burden of uploading. Files are
downloaded as a number of
small chunks which are then
dished out to other computers.
Transfers start off slowly,
but speed up tremendously over
a few minutes...

08.12.2006BitTorrent DNA Vulnerable to Remote Hijack
A recent reports suggests that the BitTorrent DNA, which is bundled with the mainline client, is an exploitable version of uTorrent without the user
interface. It is suggested that it is possible for any websites to offload content to the btdna.exe, without the users consent.
BitTorrent DNA is used for p2p streaming of online videos. It works like this; the user who wants to watch a stream has to install the BitTorrent
DNA application, which is also bundled with the BitTorrent mainline client. When the user plays a BitTorrent accelerated stream it will not only
download data, but also upload it to other people who are watching the same stream, similar to a regular BitTorrent download.

03.01.2008BitTorrent Continues to Dominate Internet Traffic
A recent analysis of the latest P2P trends wordwide shows that BitTorrent is still the most popular filesharing protocol. BitTorrent traffic is still
on the rise and responsible for 50-75% of all P2P traffic and roughly 40% of all Internet traffic.
BitTorrent Continues to
Dominate Internet TrafficP2P traffic stats always cause quite a bit of controversy. In 2004 several respectable sources were reporting that BitTorrent
was responsible for 35% of all internet traffic. This was probably a huge overestimation at the time, today this figure sounds more realistic.
Ipoque reports in a preview of their 2007 P2P survey that BitTorrent is generating between 50-75% of all P2P traffic. P2P traffic is
responsible for 50%-90% of all Internet traffic which means that BitTorrent traffic is generating somewhere between 25% and 65% of all Internet
traffic...

02.09.2007Comcast Throttles BitTorrent Traffic
Afraid of excessive bandwidth
usage, ISPs have been
throttling BitTorrent traffic
for almost two years now.
While most ISPs simply limit
the available bandwidth for
BitTorrent, Comcast has now
taken it one step further, and
is actively preventing its
customers from seeding, if the
latest user reports are to be
believed. Comcast is not alone
in this: Canadian ISPs Cogeco
and Rogers use similar methods
on a smaller scale. These more
aggressive throttling methods
can't be circumvented by
simply enabling encryption in
a BitTorrent client, as
Comcast is reportedly using an
application from Sandvine to
throttle BitTorrent traffic;
the application apparently
breaks every (seed) connection
with new peers after a few
seconds if it's not a Comcast
user, making it virtually
impossible to seed a file,
especially in small swarms
without any Comcast users.
Although some users report
that they can still connect to
a few peers, most of the
Comcast customers chiming in
have seen a significant drop
in upload speed.
Sandvine's throttling works
like this: a few seconds after
one connects to a peer in the
BitTorrent swarm, Sandvine
sends a peer reset message
(RST flag) and the upload
immediately stops. Most
vulnerable are users in a
relatively small swarm where
one only has a few peers to
which to upload. However, only
seeding seems to be prevented,
as most users are able to
upload to others while the
download is still going; once
the download is finished,
though, the upload speed drops
to 0.

16.12.2008BitTorrent 6.0 Beta Available
BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer
protocol for distributing
files. It makes use of the
upstream bandwidth of every
downloader to increase the
effectiveness of the
distribution as a whole, and
to gain advantage on the part
of the downloader. On average,
the faster you upload to your
peers, the faster you will be
able to download.
"The new BitTorrent 6.0
Beta brings together
BitTorrent's proven expertise
in networking protocols with
µTorrent's efficient
implementation and compelling
UI to create a better
BitTorrent client. As we
continue to develop this new
client, we'll be focused on
innovative ways to simplify
and improve the BitTorrent
user experience."

09.12.2008BitTorrent Optimized Microprocessor Announced
BitTorrent continues to expand
beyond the computer. Today,
the Taiwanese company IAdea
announced that BitTorrent
optimized microprocessors will
become available soon. This
makes it relatively easy to
add BitTorrent support to
other consumer electronics
devices.
The
microprocessor will enable
hardware manufacturers to
create devices that directly
download .torrent files, and
play files that are downloaded
over BitTorrent. This is one
step further in simplifying
BitTorrent, and incorporating
it in non-PC hardware.
John Wang, CEO of IAdea
Corporation and developer of
the new chip said in a
response, "This new service
architecture is infinitely
scalable, delivers faster as
more users join, and can be
built at a fraction of the
cost of a traditional server
farm. We see this trend
emerging as Web 3.0′
where each consumer becomes
part of a universal content
storage and delivery system.
Our new chip plays part in the
new paradigm by making
BitTorrent available
efficiently and economically.
You should not be surprised if
you find your next car or
cellphone enabled with our
technology."

11.01.2007BitTorrent Launches Ad Supported Streaming
BitTorrent Inc. officially launched its
Watch Now section where they have over
1000 movies and TV episodes available to watch for free. BitTorrent streaming opens up the possibility for content producers to offer high quality
video streams to the public while generating money from advertising, a business model that should appeal to both customers and content producers.
BitTorrent streaming is based on the BitTorrent protocol, with some clever modifications to make streaming possible. P2P streaming
significantly lowers the costs for the content provider, it therefore opens up the door to higher quality streams than we are used to now, and it is a
great alternative to http streaming that websites like YouTube use at the moment.
