BitLet is a new comer to the Bittorrent scene with a unique feature in it’s bag. It’s in your browser!

Don’t understand what I’m trying to say? BitLet is a new type of client to download or upload files via peer-to-peer computing via the Bittorrent protocol. It’s not a downloadable program, but instead it’s a web-based client, or should I say browser based client?

Anyway, it uses your browser (make that Internet Explorer or Firefox or other browsers) as a client to connect to other servers, trackers and computers to start downloading (in the Bittorrent scene, leeching). It’s a very straight forward website where you just need to enter the address of the torrent file, and it will start downloading by itself. All you have to do then is to leave that browser open till it completes it’s download. You may even resume you download at another time if you decide to close the browser.

Now, you ask where will the file be stored? It’s stored locally on your computer, not on BitLet’s servers.

The technology used to create this client is with the Sun Java platform. You’ll need a browser together with the Java Virtual Machine to be able to run this Bittorrent client.

You could even run this client in a Internet Cafe!

You can call me crazy, but I just love downloading, no matter what the content is. Oklah, not everything I download.

But everyone knows how sucky it is to download anything with TMNet Streamyx. You do know that you need at least a Duo Core to download from TMNet right?

Anyways, I recently, well, since 1 month ago, I’ve been using a Virtual Private Network (VPN) service called BolehVPN at an affordable rate. It comes in packages of 3, 7, 30, 60 and 90 days. I bought 30 days for RM30. RM1 per day.

So what does it do for me?

Simple, really. They have a few servers in the US and UK as well as some local ones. You connect to them remotely and you can start doing whatever you would like to do. You can surf, download and even view sites which are blocked by your ISP (mainly TMNet, but others also are applicable) because VPN traffic cannot be filtered, analyzed or traffic shaped by ISPs.

But there’s other uses of a VPN as well. Take me for example. I was in Singapore not too long ago staying in a motel. They had Internet access there but I’m a little worried about my confidential data transmitting to sniffers & hackers. So I used my VPN service in Singapore for my surfing, mailing and chatting. All via VPN.

Here’s a screenshot of my downloads within the past 12 hours.

I was reading some threads on lowyat recently about streamyx throttling/prioritising BT connections as the lowest to increase bandwidth availability to other protocols..

What caught my eyes was about BT and VPNs.. Would it really help each other? If it does, then it’s a good thing! I’m sure almost every DoTA players has hamachi installed.. even i have it for other gaming and networking purposes..

The reason why they were talking about this is because streamyx throttles bt connections to international link ONLY. not local links. if it remains that way, a full malaysian nodes vpn will greatly increase bt bandwidth..

Do you understand what am i trying to say?

VPNs are virtual private networks. sort of like LANs but it’s spread out over the internet. it is also encripted, which means, streamyx got one more encription to block?

Hamachi uses the tunneling method. Tunneling is like.. Lets say for me to have a direct road to your house from mine is by having a secret tunnel in my backyard which leads right to yours. Same way.

So that aside, it’s possible to use add vpn capabilities to bt? and will it work? Need some answers from experts out there..
