It’s a perfect example how both companies and users can benefit from BitTorrent. You will donate a little bandwidth and the companies will save money. The losers are of course the ISP’s, who will restrict bandwith even more.

According to some of our oldest and most reliable sources within Apple’s software development sector, Mac OS X 10.5 “Leopard” will include a system-level “BitTorrent” filesharing client that can be user-customized to ‘donate’ upstream Internet bandwidth for things like pushing Software Update packages to Leopard users, delivering iTunes Store content, and just about any purpose to which Apple puts its bandwidth.

Interesting concept. Although, in reality, they don’t have a problem with pusing software updates. This would probably really be useful, though, if they increase the resolution of the video available through the iTunesStore, then when I purchase a HD version of an episode of Lost, Apple doesn’t need to be the only one pushing that content to me - they can break it up and have other people who have purchased that episode provide me pieces of it faster….
