I'm always stunned when people say streaming isn't downloading because it IS, it's just a specific kind of download. Likewise, whether something hits the disk or not, is irrelevant. If people thought about the meanings of "down" and "load", they SHOULD be able to realize this. That's my hope anyway. dws, no it just changes the order in which chunks are fetched.

If it could just do this with µTorrent and foobar2000 and with an option to save the files my life would be complete. ;) However the sound quality is very bad (nothing to do with the technology, just hoping the developers will see this and fix it). Try to change the volume in the applet to the highest level. Now change it back and set the volume in Windows to the same level you played the music at from the applet, or much higher if you want to. There is a huge difference and there should be none if it was working correctly. Very cool!

Although this has always been possible, it's great to see someone finally doing it, and it seems like they're doing a great job with it. Thanks for the link Ernesto, BitLet seem to really be innovating. Hopefully it helps BitTorrent become more well known to the general public, with that other post you made about BitLet allowing people without clients to download torrents. This has been a major roadblock for the adoption of BitTorrent to replace things like LimeWire. One question though, my understanding is that this is all done through a Java program, so you still download the content, and the case isn't that BitLet is a middle-man between the transfer, right? That way they can't be held responsible for what users download. I hope that's how it is, and hope BitLet continues with this wonderful development! @15: I don't think it has to load again completely. I went back and it still had it listed there. From the FAQ: [quote] Is resume supported? Sure, every time you restart a download just click save in the same location where you saved the download the first time (the applet will propose it by default), and your download will be resumed.
