BitTorrent Blog

It’s Thursday, people. So come meet some of our people. This week, we spent some time catching up with Mario Estrada: our X-Games-qualified web engineer and UI genius.

This week, we talked to An Nguyen: our favorite engineer/autocross racer/video game designer (and felt decidedly less badass by comparison). We stayed up late on Thursday night learning how to solder and got a surprise visit from legendary sound engineer Young Guru the following day. Finally, it was nice for us to see Humble Bundle raise +1.7MM for independent authors. Happy weekend….

From helping create the Star Wars video game you’ve probably played endlessly to racing cars in his spare time, the guy that works on your favorite client has quite a fascinating backstory. In today’s edition of Meet Our Team, An Nguyen tells us what he loves about working at BitTorrent and why it’s a company…

We kicked the week off with a nice lil’ infographic illustrating how BitTorrent + The Internet Archive offer up more licensed and legal content than Hulu, Netflix, and Vudu…combined.

If you’ve ever downloaded BitTorrent Featured Content well, Yuri’s the person who makes it happen. Yuri does more than help us build sites and amazing artist programs. She also builds installations. If you’re…

On Tuesday, October 9th, our team attended the 11th SF MusicTech Summit conference at Hotel Kabuki in Japantown. We started the morning off with the Artist Tools panel featuring our Executive Director of Marketing, Matt Mason.

This week, we said “hi” to October. We took an outsider artist’s practice of gifting CDRs, and made it digital by working with Chicago artist Willis Earl Beal to create a new BitTorrent Bundle: a 5-track EP featuring music from his upcoming film Principles of a Protagonist. (Get it here.) We also introduced the world to Aaron Cohen,…
