"The only reason there is starvation in Gaza is because IDF is preventing aid from entering the territory and are refusing to let real humanitarian organizations work safely there."

This is not accurate to say the least. Trucks do get in but Hamas and armed groups control the supplies and prevent a fair distribution

Congrats, but it seems that now the free plan has very few features, almost all paid? :(

if you're concerned with Kite, you may want to try TabNine (https://tabnine.com), which works for JavaScript, Python, and all popular languages

For Java and JavaScript there's also codota.com

Peer5 uses webrtc datachannels and runs on top of existing dash/hls streams

Hi, I'm the co-founder of Peer5. The difference is that Peer5 is a hosted solution with coordination and analytics. It's an "enterprise" product with support and everything a large media company would need.

Prices do go down, but consumption goes up in a faster pace. So overall companies pay more for CDNs for video :)

The thing is, even if CDNs would be free, they have limited capacity and they saturate during large live events. That's one of the reasons we still watch sports on pay-tv.

When a user access any website of content providers online, they implicitly agree to the terms of service of that provider. When using Peer5, the terms of service includes a language about public IP temporarily visible to other users.

This is what we're trying to do now:

1. Make ISPs zero-rate any upstream p2p bandwidth. Most of that bandwidth is anyway inside their network, so it's good for them. Until that happens:

2. Avoid the usage of upstream bandwidth when we detect it's metered.

It's just a very standard and easy to understand model that people are familiar with. We may explore some other options in the future.

The idea is that you're not double taxed. If you're using a CDN already like Akamai for instance, you wouldn't pay Peer5 for the HTTP bytes. Only Akamai would charge you for that.

Hi, Hadar here, Co-founder and CEO of Peer5. PeerCDN started at about the same time as Peer5 and was a competitor. Later it was acquired by Yahoo.

PeerCDN was a general purpose CDN, while Peer5 specializes in video. Feross, one of PeerCDN's founders and author of WebTorrent actually became my friend and we exchange ideas from time to time.

My name is Hadar and I wrote this, let me know if you have any question

Hadar from Peer5 here. We'd be happy to share whitepapers and case studies about our p2p cdn. Feel free to contact us :)

Sounds a lot like https://sharefest.me/ :)

Looks cool!

The title is somewhat misleading... Javascript originated delivery is probably more accurate

What's missing?

How does it compare Redis?

Yeah, it just that you wanna make sure the padding variable is not being overridden by some malloc ;)

This blog post explains the code: http://blog.existentialize.com/diagnosis-of-the-openssl-hear...

Yes, that's what you got exactly, but I have to admit that this is quite extreme, and you should not expect to download so much from peers every time...

Yeah, for that you would want to use the general purpose API (which is AJAX like). See https://github.com/Peer5/P2PXHR. It's still a little under-documented, so let me know if you're having trouble hacking it...

You may have some warnings on XHR expirations if you're coming from a slow connection. What is the error?

It's currently for free, at least for the beta. Plans will be announced soon. Promise!

Do you think this can be the next generation BitTorrent technology?

huh?

Hopefully sharefest.me would be another alternative pretty soon
