Avalanche is M$ own version of Bittorent

Microsoft researchers in Cambridge, UK, are developing their own peer-to-peer file-sharing software. Codenamed Avalanche, the program makes it easy to share content by dividing files such as software, audio or video, into chunks, much like BitTorrent. Using “network coding”, it can re-create missing blocks of data that can be used in place of missing chunks.
