DESCRIPTION

       Tribler is a python-based Bittorrent/Internet TV application It allows you to watch videos
       and download content. Tribler aims to combine the ease of Youtube.com with the performance
       of peer-to-peer.

       Tribler  is  backwards  compatible  with  the  Bittorrent  download  protocol. To discover
       interesting content standard RSS feeds with .torrent links are supported plus  the  "Tribe
       protocol"  which  automatically  scans  the  network  for available Bittorrent swarms upon
       startup. Tribler uses an embedded web browser to access video  clips  of  Youtube.com  and
       Liveleak.com  Other features are "People who like this also like" for recommending related
       swarms, the ability to make friends, and to donate idle upload capacity  to  friends.  The
       later  can  improve  download  speed by a factor of two on asymmetric Internet links.  The
       fastest way of social file sharing
