Why does Pioneer One have a video blog on Vimeo, and yet the only way to view the actual episode is through a torrent for a 1.1 gig file? Why do I have to wait

Why does Pioneer One have a video blog on Vimeo, and yet the only way to view the actual episode is through a torrent for a 1.1 gig file? Why do I have to wait an hour or more when videos on Vimeo start immediately? Even platforms like Hulu with ads (and legal, big budget films) start within a minute.
VODO seems overly focused on distribution, which is a solved problem. The hard part is promotion.

- GavinB 16y agoDon't know how I missed that the first time. (http://veehd.com/video/4117770_Pioneer-One-S01E01-2010 http://veehd.com/video/4117770_Pioneer-One-S01E01-2010). I would recommend putting it up on one on Vimeo that doesn't require installing the divx plugin, but this is good enough for me.
- danohuiginn 16y agoThere's a streaming version at http://veehd.com/video/4117770_Pioneer-One-S01E01-2010 http://veehd.com/video/4117770_Pioneer-One-S01E01-2010 We've concentrated on bittorrent distribution because it's a market with a massive audience, relatively little (legal) content, and low distribution costs. Streaming is great too -- it isn't our main focus, but the CC license means you're free to upload a copy to a streaming site if you like.

- sabat 16y agoThat's ironic.
- danohuiginn 16y agoooh, that shouldn't be happening. Which country are you in?
