  1. I haven’t done it on the Windows side, but we did some proof-of-concept tests awhile back using the aggregators (both Frontier and Radio on OSX) with BitTorrent – specifically via btdownloadheadless. Worked like a charm; so if you can get the switches passed in windows, you’re good to go beyond that point.

    Also have done some testing with a ‘netvcr’ using exNodes. The netvcr is hooked up to cable, and (if the time slot is available) one can record a show via the web interface. The recording is automatically distributed on a network of servers, and you receive an exNode file, which is small, like a torrent file, and can be used in enclosures as well (I’ll have to check on windows usage, but a command-line client was available for Unix). The difference to BitTorrent being that it’s not peer dependant for download speed – you’re doing a similar ‘spread download’ from an existing group of servers rather than hoping for sufficient concurrent BT peers.

    Anyway, I hope you get the switches thing solved – and I’ll keep an eye out for you on the BT list :<)

  2. Hey, that’s pretty interesting! Thanks for the pointer to btdownloadheadless. I suspect that’s going to be the way to go, once the other pieces fall into place.
