"Joost can offload much of the heavy bandwidth and storage cost borne by web video companies like YouTube because the service is a partial peer-to-peer system, with content distributed among viewers computers."
Anyone knows how that works?
By the way, joost is found by the same guys who develop Kazaa.
In this content is stored in various PCs around the world and when you demand some file the master server asks some computer can you give this file to user and transfer starts from the host to the demanding computer , thats why they say the bandwidth is saved as master computer doesnt serves the files directly , hope it give you some idea
