Swarmcast

So you know Podcasts and you have been using Bittorrent, now get ready for Swarmcast. Swarmcast uses the concept bittorrent to spread the network load of viewing and downloading large content (such as video or software files) by enabling all clients to connect to each other to create adhoc download networks. Unlike Bittorrent that downloads parts of files randomly Swarmcast ensures that the files is downloaded contiguously so that video files can be streamed and watched while the download is still continuing.
