our discussion on using Bit Torrent and RSS to create an automated system of downloading video files; Slashdot
points to a new plugin for the
MythTV Linux PVR project that blends the two great tastes together. Dubbed
Torrentocracy, the project is one of the first efforts to take some of the RSS & Torrent blends being seen on-line, and nudge them toward more legitimate uses (or perhaps not) in the living room. Ironically enough, a project focused on distributing content and bandwidth was Slashdotted to death, so the project link may not currently work. A non-Slashdotted screenshot is available
