Title
Tribler: P2P media search and sharing
Abstract
Tribler is an open-source software project facilitating search, streaming and sharing content using P2P technology. Over 800,000 people have used Tribler since the project started in 2005. The Tribler P2P core supports BitTorrent-compatible downloading, video on demand and live streaming. Aside from a regular desktop GUI that runs on multiple OSes, it can be installed as a browser plug-in, currently used by Wikipedia. Aditionally, it runs on a 450~MHz processor, showcasing future TV support. We continuously work on extensions and test out novel research ideas within our user base, resulting in sub-second content search, a reputation system for rewarding upload, and channels for content publishing and spam prevention. Presently, 1200 channels have been created, enabling rich multimedia communities without requiring any server.
