A whole article on p2p video streaming, and yet Popcorn Time [1] is curiously absent. The flagship program that proves p2p movie watching is feasible, even comfortable, when delivered through BitTorrent doesn't get a mention. In a way the program already saved streaming video already.
We can only speculate whether the omission is conscious attempt at avoiding linking to risque programs, or does that indicate the article is copy-pasted press release of content providers.
[1] https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Popcorn_Time ; https://popcorntime.io/ https://popcorntime.io/ seems to be the leading fork.

- Rodi 12y agoThe main difference with the solution the article describes and Popcorn time is that the former can be used by the online broadcaster for their own videos and integrates seamlessly in their webpage, whereas for Popcorn time you need to install the soft, and can only download torrents.
