Ending my radio silence here. I've been heads down working on Prodigem which is a new content hosting web-service I've created. It relies on bit torrent to share the costs of the distribution of large files and is revolutionary in that you need only to upload your file via the web, click a few buttons and not only will it create a torrent for your content, but it will begin seeding it also.

This removes all complexity in the administration of bit torrent from start to finish and also enables you to take advantage of better initial download speeds since you aren't limited by your home DSL connection. You can read more about Prodigem here. Like I say there, if you are an artist, creator, author, blogger, podcaster, amateur mogul, lead guitarist, independent movie director or person, and you have material which has been licensed openly, such as with a Creative Commons license, the sky is now the limit.

We're currently in a limited beta testing phase, so in the meantime you might consider checking out the main tracker and joining torrents for any content you'd like. Hopefully we'll open to wider availability soon and as membership is being handled in the new school style of invitation propagation, watch your inbox for Prodigem email.
