The feature that I describe allows other users to physically purchase bandwidth and have it added directly into your account. For example, if you look at a public user page like http://download.movedigital.com/rocketboom, you'll see you can just add bandwidth directly to them. You can also find this feature from the "Share" button on a MoveDigital widget. As for our value proposition, we are offering a simplified interface to managing your files. Rather than mess with the details of having to figure out how to create mobile video, stream mobile video, create a torrent, seed a torrent or just how to generally handle reliable file transfer, you instead come to MoveDigital, get those ultra fast servers, and not have to worry about any of that.

If I understand correctly you are hosting the torrent and charging your customers for any upload bandwidth on completed files. You mention the ability for other members to donate bandwidth. Is that something separate from someone downloading a torrent and continuing to share once its complete? Second, it would seem that even with other people distributing the file, the bulk of the file transfers will come through your ultra fast servers. This may be fine for users that will have limited bandwidth demands. For someone like a John Edwards that will have heavy traffic, what would you say that you offer him that is superior to buying server space and creating his own torrent.

I gave it a go and the site is very simple to use. The first step is to create an account and upload your video to the MoveDigital site. Copies of the video are then created in a variety of different formats, meaning end users can simply download the video to their computer in its original format (say wmv), acquire the video using bit torrent or download a version that plays on mobile video devices. Below is a screenshot of a widget you can put your website to distribute your video: [...] [...] Techcrunch has a report today on MoveDigital, a site that gives organization a quick and easy way to distribute their videos in a variety of digital formats.

It's completely at the user's choice whether they want to use it. It's just provided for the user's convenience, as a means of aggregating many links into one bit of html, as well as enabling them to allow others to easily add bandwidth to their account. We also provide the direct download URL, the torrent URL and the mobile stream URL if user's choose to reblog with those. These URLs can be found in your account in a number of places, one of which is by clicking on the share button, and simply copying them from the "spread this" box. We absolutely encourage our users to point to their content in whatever form they see fit and wherever they see fit. For example, in Marshall's testing yesterday he uploaded this video: http://download.movedigital.com/marshallk/7844/Ekai-JasonLewisCircumnavigatesTheBigWhale374.mov with the torrent found here: http://download.movedigital.com/marshallk/t7845/marshallk-Ekai-JasonLewisCircumnavigatesTheBigWhale374.torrent and the mobile stream here: rtsp://mobile.movedigital.com/marshallk/7844/Ekai-JasonLewisCircumnavigatesTheBigWhale374.mov.3gp Just wanted to answer some questions on the widget.

Yet, in video streaming most co-brands are free. For example, Youtube and Google Video, etc. I don't understand why a web developer would pay for a co-brand when co-brands are already free with unlimited video streaming.
