Rumours on the Apple vine say that Leopard, OS X 10.5.x, will build in Bittorrent. Sharing encrypted Apple content will lighten the load on Apple servers and net you some free iTunes tracks. Interesting idea.
“Leopard†will include a system-level “BitTorrent†filesharing client that can be user-customized to ‘donate’ upstream Internet bandwidth for things like pushing Software Update packages to Leopard users, delivering iTunes Store content, and just about any purpose to which Apple puts its bandwidth. …Rewards would include credit at the iTunes Store and the Apple Store as well as other affililated offers like free airtime minutes for Apple’s forthcoming “iPhone†and the like.
