In most common case of video delivery each new viewer connects to mediaserver and downloads video, occupying part of server capacity and bandwidth. The more viewers consume content, the higher server load and the greater payments for traffic.
FlockPlay allows viewers not only to download and consume content but also to upload small chunks of content to other viewers of the very same content. Thus FlockPlay takes away sufficient part of load from mediaserver and saves your money on traffic payments.

git clone https://github.com/inventos/FlockPlay.git - Start simple HTTP server inside FlockPlay dir. For example, if you have python or ruby, you can use one of the following one-liners:
python -m SimpleHTTPServer 8000
python3 -m http.server 8000
ruby -run -e httpd . -p 8000
- Open demo: http://localhost:8000/samples/
