MSN Hotmail and Messenger used torrents to distribute binaries in 2006. It's not new nor novel. And I'm sure someone did it before they did.

- sitepodmatt 8y agoWhat binaries did MSN Hotmail have? It was the earlier web mail incarnation of outlook.com?
- scurvy 8y agoThe Hotmail front-end ran as an ISAPI filter inside IIS. Messenger had lots of standalone binaries for different functions: CS, SB, DP, etc. BitTorrent is used in Dropbox, Twitter, MSN, etc to distribute binaries throughout the server platform, not to end users.
