I am just not seeing this yet! As stated in an earlier post, I tried to d/l the Adam Curry interview on BBC with Bit Torrent. I was a few days late in starting the download and obviously by the time I started all the seeds were gone. I finally received the file in just over 2 days (132mB!).
In my experience with Torrent, if it is a popular file ... the download is fast and accurate but give it a few days and the seeds are gone and no one will wait for days to grab a file.
What about the up and coming shows .. those will little popularity. There may not be enough seeds to find an audience.
Am I not getting it? Everyone's opinions would be appreciated. I think BT is a great and vcool technology, but as an accurate and reliable method of downloading podcasts. At the moment, I'll pass.
