SopCast: P2P TV Streaming for Free !

In this days I was looking for a way to watch over Internet the matches of the FIFA World Cup.
Finally I have found a very interesting software named Sopcast. It is based on a Peer To Peer (P2P) Streaming Technlogies that allows people to watch video streams generated by a "seed user" that introduces in Internet the video stream collected by its local source.

It's very easy to install Sopcast, first of all you should download here the file, than launch the installation and start the program.

You can login in it as an "anonymous user" or as a "registered user", in this second case you will be allowed to watch a richer selection of streaming content.

After the login procedure, you can open the Channel List tab, where there is the list of all the avaiable channels.

Beside the channel name there is a number that represents the number of users that are watching that stream in that specific moment. Larger is this number, higher is the chance to find a good stream uploader with an high-bandwitdth connection near you!

In order to watch the FIFA World Cup, I absolutely suggest you to choose the CCTV5 channel, that transmit all the matches!

I hope to have given you an interesting tip.
You can also visit the Sopcast website.

Have Fun.

Fabio
