\"Put.io\"<\/a> Ever seen the movie The Rundown <\/em>with Dwayne Johnson <\/em>playing a retrieval expert<\/em>? I think that was a great movie. A retrieval expert. What a nice job. Even better if you have someone to do it for you. On the Internet, you ain\u2019t got no Dwayne Johnson. Here, you got Put.io<\/a>. Put.io is your personal retrieval expert. Say Hello!<\/p>\n

Let\u2019s say you download a lot of stuff through different mediums. There\u2019s bittorrent, rapidshare, podcasts, rss feed enclosures, file sharing with friends etcetera. Now imagine if all the content you require \u2013 from all these different places \u2013 land up in one single spot on the internet from where you can choose and download whatever you want. Don\u2019t want to download? How about streaming the movie you just torrented? Better? Right.<\/p>\n

That is exactly what put.io does. It fetches content from torrents, rapidshare, http, ftp, standard download websites and even scrapes out content from rss feeds and podcasts. You tell put.io what to download; it’s servers will download the file onto themselves and then you can either stream or download the media to your computer through normal http links. You can access and download your data to your computer\/iPhone\/Web based device anytime you want. You can also conventionally upload files from your computer. It\u2019s like a middleman for fetching content, only this man has got many hands.<\/p>\n

If you are fetching torrents with put.io, it\u2019s good to know that after downloading, put.io will also seed it uptil ratio of 1:1, and for those interested to know, put.io is currently experimenting with their server side torrent client and mostly use different builds of Transmission and rTorrent. If you are fetching music, you can stream it right inside the browser. If it is video, you will need the DivX browser plugin (link provided on the video page) to stream the video in the browser. In case you prefer desktop streaming, you should be good as a link for direct streaming via desktop players like VLC is also provided. Entire folders can be downloaded as zip files.<\/p>\n

\"A<\/p>\n

Put.io has also kicked in on the social aspect of the service. You can mark fellow users of the site as friends and then share files with them individually or with all of them. All it takes is a press of a button. Its servers are connected to the internet through Gigabit ports because of which they can fetch files faster than normal home connections \u2013 their website says.<\/p>\n

\"Sharing<\/p>\n

In case you are a media fanatic, you will need to get your fix as put.io has it\u2019s own set of (lenient) limits. You will get a total of 50GB storage and 150GB of bandwidth. Any single file should not be over 20GB and if the serves are high on load, you will be limited to 3 simultaneous downloads (when fetching). Put.io will not extract any archive containing more than 500 files and as for private torrent trackers, not all of them are supported.<\/p>\n

\"Video<\/p>\n

Put.io is currently in closed beta and you will need an invite to get in. Also, there are plans to take the service on a subscription based model where the user will have to pay to use the service. Certainly, after the beta period, put.io will become a paid-for service. So you better sign up now and reap the benefits for as long as they are available.<\/p>\n

If you\u2019re thinking \u201cThis ship is going to sink in its own dockyard\u201d that is something only time will tell. Sure it can be used for downloading copyrighted material and even used as a seedbox, but nonetheless, it is still a middleman*, or a retrieval expert. And as far as I know, retrieval experts are legal in USA<\/a> ;) On a brighter note, Put.io assures to remove any infringing material from its servers as and when it gets a DMCA<\/a> complaint.<\/p>\n

So that\u2019s all that Put.io is all about. Want in? Keep an eye on invites given away on Put.io\u2019s Twitter<\/a>.<\/p>\n

*Copyright laws flummox me. I should be the last person to be asked about them. Thanks!<\/span><\/p>\n
