"The Bittorrent protocol designed by Bram Cohen works great and currently dominates the traffic on the Internet backbone, but it lacks many features that may be very useful. We are improving this protocol with over a dozen people with such features which go way beyond the original. We are extending the code from the ABC project. Features that we are adding include:

• Amazon-like recommendations to get interesting files

• Doubling the download speed by using the upload capacity of friends

• Real-time P2P file sharing with P2P video streaming

• Showing the locations of other downloaders of the same content with city-level accuracy on a world map"
