If you want to put a lot of high-resolution video content on the web site (which is also called actually) pay, must remain for the corresponding bandwidth. This may in large sites such as Wikimedia quite go into the money. Therefore, this page is also the first to support the new Swarm player as a test. The idea behind the Swarm player corresponds to a Peer2Peer network. That is, seen a video clip of each of the complete (and therefore also on the hard disk) is added, then automatically becomes a transmitter for this clip. The result is (in theory) quickly distributed many channels for popular clips on the main page, use no more bandwidth. The single user can of course also stop sharing any or all videos. However, of course, is the central idea that each user a portion of its web upload bandwidth and your hard disk space free of the community provides. The project sounds to our ears the first real nice, but in practice shows the need, as many films are in fact benefit from the cache effect. We also wonder how the security is controlled so that each stream can not inject contaminated packages. Whether there is sufficient a simple package checksum? Just because the source code is available open, you could here a great mass access for evil intentions created. But before the Swarmplayer for malware Assos is interesting, it must reach anyway once a critical mass. And until then, such problems should also have been addressed already. We certainly hope that such a nice technology can prove the medium, because locally has always been cool.
