P2P-CDN — WebTorrent CDN with graceful degradation

How to use it?

See examples folder, you can try here: look that it's an heavy page with images and video (30MB)!

Why?

The LAMP hosting is the most popular choice when you want to public on the Web.

It's cheap and it's fast, but if you want to publish heavy contents like high quality photos, audio or videos with many users could become a problem. Maybe you want to reduce your hosting bill.

This is an easy and accessible (lazy load with graceful degradation) fix: you can stream all your heavy files (PDFs included, see examples!) with much less bandwidth, sharing the bandwidth of your users.

Without Javascript or WebRTC all the contents load normally: it's SEO friendly.

Silicon Valley S04E04 - Teambuilding Exercise

Richard: I read Peter's notes, all of them, and he knew that a peer-to-peer Internet was possible in the future, but he was also basing that on, what, old desktop computers. He never, ever foresaw the ubiquity or power of all of our modern-day smartphones. He was also dealing with a completely different Weissman limit. So... uh, yeah. Yeah. Okay.

Gavin: What is that? Is that number correct?

Richard: The delta in mean device efficiency? Yeah, it is. See, eventually, over time, this will render every server that Hooli operates obsolete, which would make Jack Barker shit himself.

Gavin: Holy shit!
