Dobrica Pavlinušić (HULK) - Deploy your own P2P network

Peer-to-peer networks are right solution for distributing mostly static content to multiple clients while exploiting bandwidth of all clients to share file chunks and available bandwidth.

Torrent is currently most used P2P network protocol, but in this day and age it suffers from lack of official specification and has stigma attached to it.

In this presentation I will try to explain what it takes to create your own peer-to-peer cloud based on torrent protocol.
