Wired News: Speed Meets Feed in Download Tool

"Is there a way to publish videos, games and other enormous files online without breaking the bank on bandwidth fees or driving downloaders mad with delays?

A demo publishing system launched Friday by a popular programmer and blogger merges two of this season's hottest tech fads -- RSS news syndication and BitTorrent file sharing -- to create a cheap publishing system for what its author calls "big media objects." The hybrid system is meant to eliminate both the publisher's need for fat bandwidth, and the consumer's need to wait through a grueling download.

Andrew Grumet, a freelance Web consultant, posted instructions for his demo system on his weblog. Grumet's demo consists of one small piece of software: an upgrade for the Radio RSS reader that enables it to use BitTorrent to automatically download enormous files -- in the case of Grumet's demo, a set of public-domain music recordings listed on the LegalTorrents website."
