I have added a BitTorrent client to Version 3 of the Ten Foot products.
Bit Torrent is a widely-used protocol for downloading large files (and collections of files) from the Internet. For example, you can get films, TV programs and music that are published as BitTorrents.
The client allows people interested in the same file to work together to get much faster download rates than a single server could reasonably provide. It integrates with the Ten Foot Browser (and other browsers) so clicking a link to a torrent starts the download automatically. You control how and when torrents are queued and run.
Like the other Ten Foot Products:
- Ten Foot Browser
- Ten Foot Launcher
- Ten Foot Mail Reader
- Ten Foot File Manager
- Ten Foot Program Manager...
... the BitTorrent client makes the best use of low resolution television displays by using simple screens with high resolution colours. The screens automatically resize to fit your display. You can control the client using just your remote.
The Launcher allows the Ten Foot Products to work with all PC-based media centre software by defining hot buttons. Double-pressing a hot button brings up the Launcher so you can run any of the Products, or any other program you add to the Launcher.
If you don't have Windows MCE installed, you can ask the Launcher to run MediaPortal whenever you press the Big Green Button on your remote. Alternatively, you can assign MediaPortal to any other remote button.
It comes with online help, supporting documentation and support pages to help you make the most of BitTorrent.
We have made several other improvements to the Ten Foot Products in this new version that you can read about here.
The products are free and do not contain any adware or malware.
You can find out more, download the Products and get the documentation from here.
I hope you find them useful.
