Exactly why we need Bittorrent Live to take off. P2P live video streaming can help bypass shoddy bots.

  Hate to rain on your parade, but ISP-level NAT is coming (it's already here on mobile) and it breaks P2P. Hole-punching doesn't work, you can't manually open ports, and they don't support UPnP. If everyone is behind a nat who is left to tunnel through? Why, a central platform! Skype already went down this road.

    Hopefully ISPs will be smart enough to provide native ipv6 before they start doing NAT on their ipv4 addresses.

      Given that they're all also cable tv providers, I'm not sure how smart providing ipv6 would be.

    Why would UDP holepunching be affected?
