Peer5 Downloader: Peer-assisted file downloads using WebRTC
- ubershmekel 13y agoLooks interesting but if this is a product then what's its price?
- whadar 13y agoIt's currently for free, at least for the beta. Plans will be announced soon. Promise!
- shacharz 13y agoIf you'd like to learn more checkout Peer5's open source projects [1] for pure p2p file sharing, And [2] for a flexible AJAX api built on top of the same stack. [1] github.com/peer5/sharefest [2] github.com/peer5/P2PXHR
- umsm 13y agoDemo Fail: When I tried to download the 200MB file, Chrome is reporting server errors...
- orweis 13y agoSleek simple solution, just like bittorrent. Wonder if it can be used to peer-to-peer other stuff, other than file downloads. CDN boosting ? Ajax broadcast content ( e.g. NewsFeeds, live marketing notifications )?
- whadar 13y agoYeah, for that you would want to use the general purpose API (which is AJAX like). See https://github.com/Peer5/P2PXHR https://github.com/Peer5/P2PXHR. It's still a little under-documented, so let me know if you're having trouble hacking it...
- bonfire 13y agoI downloaded a 200MB file and 94% were downloaded from peers? Is that what you're saying? That's crazy
- whadar 13y agoYes, that's what you got exactly, but I have to admit that this is quite extreme, and you should not expect to download so much from peers every time...
- addandsubtract 13y agoOne annoying aspect of it, is that my firewall is asking me to allow every single peer connection. Would it be possible to use a single port for UDP that I can whitelist?
- shacharz 13y agoInteresting, no one mentioned it when using sharefest, it is possible to tell the STUN server to restrict which udp ports are being used so you can specify 65500-65600 and whitelist them What firewall you have on your comp that fires that?
- addandsubtract 13y agoI'm using little snitch and only have TCP ports 80, 443, 8080 and 1935 (flash) whitelisted for Chrome.
- guypaskar 13y agoIn browser Bittorrent - can it get any cooler than this? :) Awesome product, tested it on my slow connection and the download was blazingly fast!
