Tribler
Tribler is an application that has been developed by scientists of the TU Delft. The application is based on Peer-to-Peer connections, which other popular file sharing application - such as Bittorrent - are also using.
Mission of Scientists
With Tribler, we are creating software for video file sharing that has a basic understanding of human friendships, of user tastes in content, and of Internet connectivity between users.
The Bittorrent protocol designed by Bram Cohen works great and currently dominates the traffic on the Internet backbone, but it lacks many features that may be very useful. We are improving this protocol with over a dozen people with such features which go way beyond the original. We are extending the code from the ABC project.
Features to be added in later stage
- Amazon-like recommendations to get interesting files
- Doubling the download speed by using the upload capacity of friends
- Real-time P2P file sharing with P2P video streaming
- Showing the locations of other downloaders of the same content with city-level accuracy on a world map
