BitTorrent has just announced that three hardware manufacturers including Asus, Planex and Qnap will integrate BitTorrent technology, a technology that is so familiar with internet users today invented by Bram Cohen in its new product lines. , including wireless routers, multimedia servers and some types of network storage devices.

Some of the upcoming hardware products will even help P2P enthusiasts download files without a computer

Two of Asus devices will have the option to share files over BitTorrent without using a computer.

Mr. Ashwin Navin - co-founder of BitTorrent said: ' Nobody wants files to mess up their home PC. Our technology will incorporate these devices so that the whole family can share the juke-box '.

Introduced by Bram Cohen in 2001, BitTorrent quickly gained support for those who like to share music and videos over the internet. Of course, the development path of BitTorrent is not flat. Like other P2P software, BitTorrent is fiercely criticized by the authorities because of its ability to violate its copyright, especially in the field of music. Many websites and trackers (servers in the BitTorrent network) have been closed by police.

Up to now, this is still one of the fastest and most effective digital music / video sharing methods. Therefore, the hardware maker decided to choose BitTorrent as a 'weapon' to implement the 'digital entertainment room' project and the technology proved very effective when sharing music, videos as well as other types. Other multimedia files in the home network.

Besides, BitTorrent did not give up the project of opening a video-on-demand 'repository' (VoD - on-demand video) but the service is still in the preparation phase, expected to be released by the end of 2006. - early 2007. Warner Bros was the first to agree to let BitTorrent publish its products online.
