Distributed Browser Expands Test Group, Introduces Developer Tools In December we announced the release of the alpha version of Project Maelstrom and shared our vision for a distributed web. It’s a vision for the Internet that we’ve long held at BitTorrent; we believe its a necessary innovation to sustain a truly neutral, content-friendly network.
Here at BitTorrent, we’re fond of a particular saying: The Internet is powered by people. You may pay your bills every month to the ISPs, but they aren’t the ones who make the Internet what it is. It’s the hard work, innovation, and dedication to the future that makes the Internet the conduit for innovation,…
An invite-only Alpha to help build the distributed web. It started with a simple question. What if more of the web worked the way BitTorrent does? Project Maelstrom begins to answer that question with our first public release of a web browser that can power a new way for web content to be published, accessed…
It may be our company’s 10th anniversary, but we’re just getting started. Ten years ago online feels lightyears away. According to Pew, less than 30% of Americans had broadband Internet access. We thought of connection in terms of desktop and dial up. We sent emails and instant messages. We went on the web to read….
In the battle over Net Neutrality, the FCC is at the precipice of deciding whether to create an Internet “Fast Lane.” We have an alternative solution to propose, and we believe it can work: instead of a Fast Lane that only the wealthy could afford, ISPs should pay companies to get into the Slow Lane.
We are taking action on September 10th as part of Internet Slowdown Day, showing you what life will be like in the Slow Lane. We’ve been front and center in the Net Neutrality discussion since its inception, and we’re not sitting it out now.
At BitTorrent, we’ve been a central figure in the defense of an open Internet from the earliest moments of the Net Neutrality debate. We’ve always taken a strong stance and firmly believe an open Internet is worth fighting for. We helped solve the issue for the ISPs during the first round of this argument with…
The FCC’s new proposal for Net Neutrality rules include effectively abolishing it: proposing preferential treatment for certain traffic. In the wake of February’s Netflix and Comcast deal, it becomes obvious that only companies willing to pay for access have traffic worthy of preferential treatment. The open Internet has been paywalled shut.

Momentum for BitTorrent Sync continues to build, as the app expands to new platforms. BitTorrent Bundle is proving to be a valuable tool for…
Our mission at BitTorrent, Inc. is to use distributed technology to build a better Internet. Achieving this requires commitment, creativity, and world-class talent. BitTorrent technologies don’t rely on centralized servers. This has become a profound differentiator; particularly within the Sync and Share marketplace, where issues of send limits and surveillance have emerged as serious user…
