TradeBit: 700k download speeds?

[Kholi]

I'm at a constant 700k download speed for that ZZYZX movie that John posted up. Paid 2.99 for it.

That's REALLY fast, though. Maybe net distribution really does have a chance?

It's amazing. Plus, it's super cheap to host your files up there. Richard Halpern is doing some smart marketing/distributing. :thumbup:

 

[Kholi]

Seriously. Pioneering pays off more than not. I finished the DL in like fifteen minutes and the quality is decent enough.

Insane.

 

[Paul Coleman]

Yep, I DL'd it a while back. I'd like to watch more flicks this way.

Until more people find out about it and bandwith slows to a crawl.

Logic says that TradeBit probably equipped themselves for such a thing. I don't think they'd open up for file-sharing without being prepared.

And, this isn't the only thing they host. There are probably hundreds of other files being DL'd at the same time.

Kholi, you'll have to let us know what you think of it after you watch.

If they've got it set up like BitTorrent or even an Akamai type of bandwidth splitting scheme, then that's very cool.
