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
