une extension de µtorrent qui permet de partager plus facilement des fichiers entre amis (signalé par @moderne et testé avec lui) ; je ne comprends pas tous les détails car les fichiers sont aussi initialement seedés sur les serveurs de BT
Share’s power, speed and “unlimited” philosophy are possible thanks to the ultra-efficient #BitTorrent protocol. Instead of requiring users to store files in remote data centers, Share users seed files from their own computer and recipients may download them directly. Once downloaded, a recipient also seeds a file. If multiple members of a group actively seed files, download speeds are dramatically increased thanks to the distributed nature of the sharing protocol. To ensure quality of service and file availability, we will also initially host and remotely seed a file for a limited time.
