Microsoft works on own BitTorrent
By
Microsoft researchers in the UK are working on file-sharing technology similar to BitTorrent, but called Avalanche.
Codenamed Avalanche, the program makes it easy to share content by dividing files such as software, audio or video, into chunks, much like BitTorrent. Microsoft researchers said Avalanche could be used to help distribute software, security patches, as well as content like TV-on-demand. “Avalanche provides a cost effective, internet scalable and very fast file distribution solution,” say the researchers on their website.
