bitlet – a very cool web browser based BitTorrent client, via java applet

Can’t believe I didn’t see this gem sooner : this will be very handy for a number of projects in deploying legal content, in a shared / load balanced manner.
http://www.bitlet.org/ & their blog at http://feeds.feedburner.com/bitlet
as well as a Facebook page @ http://www.facebook.com/pages/BitLetorg/18147948185
To steal a bit directly from their pages :
Bitlet also appears to be used by several search engines, as well as famous legitimate torrent sites such as http://www.clearbits.net/ as one means of distribution.
Very impressive work, that also has streaming video as well as streaming music implications. Another win for legal torrent distribution, as it sure helps share the bandwidth costs for small non-profit organizations trying to put documentaries out there !
