These videos aren’t the typical kind that one finds on the torrent sites. Zudeo, which is building off of the popular Azureus torrent client platform, is offering up a medium for content producers to publish their content at a reduced cost. Zudeo can do this because it allows the bandwidth cost to be spread amongst the downloaders — who effectively become seeders. More on torrenting from Wikipedia.

Until now, most of the content has been made up of high definition videos and trailers.

Because some of these videos are almost two hours long, it would have been cost prohibitive to host these videos on their own servers. But, since the downloaders are sharing the cost of distribution, the system works and the new is spreading.
