Netflix’s Fascinating Cancellation Questionnaire
- lifeisstillgood 14y agoIirr sky had a torrent client in it's pc 'app' for a while. I wonder how much more effective having a signed torrent file spread around your subscribers is compared to a really good cdn? Does anyone have any figures? (by signed torrents I mean netflix gpg signs each chunk and so you can be assured the quality is top notch they can be fairly sure you get charged etc etc)
- wmf 14y agoP2P is much slower than CDNs; e.g. Joost only got 1/3 of each stream from P2P (hardly seems worth the engineering effort).
