[aprssig] APRS Video Podcast Distribution Challenge

[Stephen Brown Jr]

That sounds pretty interesting. I am a big fan of podcasting and would love
to see some amateur radio content. I think Bittorrent would be your best
bet, sure, it may not be as fast as a direct download at times, but the
beauty of BT is that the more seeders you have the better it is for the
network, plus you don't get the $10,000 dollar bandwidth overage charge from
your hosting provider(that's exaggerating of course :D)

I think you could theoretically set up a tracker on a server running from
home if you are on a broadband connection. I've toyed with this idea once or
twice but never got into it.

I'd like to see this happen....
