A few weeks back I talked about Democracy, a application for most your video content needs. It also supported BitTorrent file transfers. In the department of file transfer via Peer-to-Peer (P2P), Azureus is well known for being available on platforms like Linux, Mac and Windows and is open source. The idea behind Zudeo is to add a portal interface to the BitTorrent software. If you click on the advanced tab of the application you get the familiar look from Azureus. The interesting part is not there though; the welcome screen shows your current downloads with their global rating. You also see thumbnails of new “hot” videos. The need of a P2P program wants to step away from the quality you can get from YouTube, flash based videos are usually in pretty low resolution and if you bring them full screen they can be pretty ugly. This program wins all points because it promotes high definition content. Larges files that they are, can be downloaded within a few minutes. Right now, the portal gives access to movie trailers, short films, and various videos at a pretty high definition. The biggest news is that the BBC as signed a deal with Zudeo to have their shows distributed under this new platform. Even if the shows themselves will probably be add suported and might even have a form of DRM it would not matter. We are stepping forward new ways to get digital video content and BitTorrent is starting being recognized as a legal way for content to be share. You can visit LegalTorrents to get loads of legal content. Download Azureus 3 (Zudeo) today to try it out.
