Once P2P is being mentioned, we immediately think of Limewire, Frostwire, downloading, uploading, movies, music albums, mp3s… That is P2P file sharing and when you go to download a file, you are downloading the file from some guys computer who is sharing it. Other than using P2P for file sharing, do you know that P2P (peer to peer) technology can also be used for internet TV? I know there are quite a few online TV but this one has an extra channel call VoD (Video on Demand). From my VoD channel list, it is currently playing Infernal Affairs, Die Another Day, The Kingdom, Rocky Balboa, The Bourne Ultimatum, Pirates of the Carribean 3, Rush Hour 3, Live Free or Die Hard, Wild Hogs, Memoirs Of A Geisha, Primeval, Surfs Up, Spider Man 3, Transformers and A LOT MORE! It’s like having a satellite TV on your computer without paying a single cent.

I’ve previously introduced TVU Networks. If you ask me which is better, I’d say SopCast is better because it has more channels and also video on demand. But since both SopCast and TVU Networks are free, why not use both? [ Download SopCast ]
