BitTorrent web-service launches

BitTorrent web-service launches - addict3d.org: "Prodigem 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. You can check out all of the original content being hosted at Prodigem from the Download Content page, and if you have content that you'd like to distribute or sell, you can easily create your own Prodigem account.

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. This is push-button torrent hosting. Given recent claims that bit torrent makes up over 1/3rd of global internet traffic and given that downloading content via bit torrent is as simple as clicking on a .torrent link on any webpage, using Prodigem to distribute your large content files to your audience of the global internet is a no-brainer.

Prodigem can only be used for the distribution of legally licensed material cleared for distribution via p2p filesharing. So, if you are an artist, creator, author, blogger, podcaster, amateur mogul, lead guitarist, independent movie director or person, and you have material which has been licensed openly, such as with a Creative Commons license, the sky is now the limit."
