StreamTorrent is a free software program for the Windows operating system that allows users to watch – and stream – TV and videos over the Internet. The relatively unknown application provides access to hundreds of popular TV stations including BBC One, BBC Two, ESPN 360, Fox Sports 2, ESPN and HBO. The software uses P2P technology that is popular in similar applications like TVU Player which means that the computer’s bandwidth is used to stream the contents to other users.
Users start by clicking on File > Search in the menu to open the search interface which can be used to list all available channels or filtered channel lists either by keyword or pre-selection (e.g. sports, top 100). It is also possible to enter a keyword which will search for and return all channels matching that keyword. A good start is probably the top 100 channel list.
It takes a few seconds to populate the channel list which displays one channel per row. Each row includes the name, bitrate, quality, audience and other values. The most important are the bitrate, quality and audience as these are indicators on the quality of the picture and the bandwidth that is needed to watch the channel fluently.
A click on a channel with open an internal viewer that is connecting to the selected tv channel. This process can also take some time as the StreamTorrent begins the buffering process.
The player offers basic status information and controls including a buffer bar, changing to full screen and changing the volume.
Watching tv is probably the most popular use of StreamTorrent. It is possible to add new channels to the application and to start a live stream from the local computer system.

Streaming video is still in its infancy. The quality is usually choppy and putrid. Movie downloads from Usenet and Rapidshare for later viewing are by far the better choice.
mrogi most users are happy that they can watch the tv stations at all. Quality usually comes second to that.
I saw a lot of popular channels on the list. While I agree that quality isn’t all that great, it’s still worthwhile for people who want to watch something that’s not available where they live.
