BitTorrent Goes Adult

It appears that Adult Peer is a commercial version of BitTorrent (I have no idea if they use the same underlying protocol or not, but the marketing copy on Adult Peer makes it obvious that it is using the same concept).

Adult Peer should be very happy that the developer of BitTorrent chose not to patent the key concept, which is the distributed download sources; it's a more patentable idea than 99% of what passes for software patents these days.

Sin City is using it to download their free "on the set" features (via Fleshbot).
