send me an invite, plskthx!
They are using the Kazaa and Skype technology for TV. Essentially p2p for TV. So the more popular the show, the easier it is to watch.
Cool.:happy::happy::happy:
Only one thing. Bandwidth :nausea:
Joost is a streaming video application, and so uses a relatively high amount of bandwidth per hour. In one hour of viewing, approximately 320Mb data will be downloaded and 105Mb uploaded, which means that it will exhaust a 1Gb cap in 10 hours. Windows users should note that the application continues to run in the background after you close the main window. For this reason, if you pay for your bandwidth usage per megabyte or have your usage capped by your ISP, you should be careful to always exit Joost client completely when you are finished watching it.
*Okay still haven't got my invite :awkward:
jk.
i feel ya... i'm just it's only a matter of time before someone figures out the packet information and who to put the bits of the stream back together so you can view it later.
it's pretty fun watching that stuff but it's also pretty limited... not many shows/channels...
but it works ok i guess...
=> T.H.A.N.K. Y.O.U.
Hopefully they will make a ppc version.
if someone got a spare invite and don't know what to do with it ... well .. i'd take it!
As far as I know.. there are no invites.. You had to sign up for the beta program.. oh and i need more ram in the cheap pc.. o. well
Also, there are invites- they are just slow to accumulate.
Yes, a Mac PPC version is in the works too."
