    "A big limitation of BitTorrent is that it only lets clients share data if they're downloading the exact same file," said Professor Andersen. "This means that the available client pool for any particular file is smaller than it needs to be."
    SET works faster because the trio realised that many files being shared on the net contain identical pieces of data even though they appear to be different.

    I can already see what uTorrent release 2.0 will offer us :D

    Actually it won;t make a difference to ISPs. But if any truth to it, then it will speed up users. The point is that at the minute some of the ISP & users bandwidth is wasted on duplication that masquerades as different items

    I think I'm getting increasingly cynical about anything BBC tech news reports as a "breakthrough"
