An anonymous reader writes: From the Wall Street Journal:
Long at loggerheads, cable provider Comcast Corp. and popular file-sharing company BitTorrent Inc. now are working together.
The deal comes as BitTorrent, which became known for developing software technology widely used to illegally share files, is trying to reinvent itself.
The companies are in talks to collaborate on ways to run BitTorrent's technology more smoothly on Comcast's broadband network, and allow Comcast to transport video files more effectively over its own network in the future, said Tony Warner, Comcast's chief technology officer.
