joker : turning torrents to streaming

Using Joker.org to watch a torrent is stupid easy. Grab a Torrent magnet link — the more seeds the better — and paste it into the text input box on the home page of Joker.org. From there, the service seems to cache the content, and depending on the amount of seeds, it starts playing after an ad.

Legitimate torrents or not, Joker will clearly be used for pirated content and the site is trying to make money. Ads play prior to the video plays back. With ads, likely come a paper trail and the MPAA has successfully taken down sites with much less information to go on.

TorrentFreak points out that the site appears to cache the torrents, too, which requires servers and bandwidth. This is most likely to improve playback. However, the cached content could be grounds for a takedown notice since it will no doubt include pirated content.

Enjoy Joker while it lasts and use it at your own risk. It’s a magical experience — that is, when used for perfectly legal and legitimate torrent files.

Haven't a lot of BT clients been doing the same thing for a while now? I've never used it but I'd thought some had this feature

It works but I don't trust it.

Even if it's safe, I don't see it lasting too long

Well that was quick. Didn't get to test it out either.
