Swoosh: before Bittorrent

Does BitTorrent have a rival?

Red Swoosh says it’s, “dedicated to providing zero-cost file and video delivery” by incorporating best of breed p2p technology where users download and stream files from each other, rather than from servers.

They simply add “http://edn.redswoosh.net” in front of links, says the site, going on:

“The download and stream looks just like before but the content is actually coming from up to 30 different peers that have previously downloaded or streamed content. All future swooshed links appear as normal downloads and video streams, except that the vast majority of data is [sic] pulled from peers instead of servers.”
