Pioneer One is the World's first TV show to be distributed via the Bittorrent network. Created by Josh Bernhard and Bracey Smith, who created [I]The Lionshare[/I], a film distributed solely through BT, it's a sci-fi show about a mysterious space capsule that enters modern-day America, and the story behind it. The show isn't backed up by any studio, and it's budget relies on viewer donations (inb4 PBS)
Personally, I've found the pilot really cool. The plot is pretty mysterious so far, and I don't want to spoil too much since it needs to be watched. I recommend you do so too.

Here, you can get a link to the torrent, with different video qualities available.
Don't forget to donate! You have the option of donating $5, $10, $25, or $100. The $100 donation will get you a signed thank-you card and a spot in the credits.
Their current goal is $20,000, with about $13,000 already there. Help these guys, they're obviously in it for the sake of the art. And no, I didn't donate, but will as soon as I get some money.
And [B]please[/B], refrain from the "HOW'S IT A TV SHOW IF IT'S ON THE INTERNET, HURR HURR" jokes.
Looks pretty interesting. Downloading now.
I'm intrigued, grabbing it now. If I like it I'll donate, if not, then I won't.
This show is incredibly interesting. I can't wait for episode 2.
hmm interesting, is it worth watching? (I love sci-fi)
Anybody know when episode 2 is coming out. Episode 1 was alright, but I think it will get better as it goes on.
This was awesome, I already love the plot and I can't wait to see what happens in the next episode!

You really notice that it is a low budget production, but that just adds to the reality (imo).
Will download as soon as I am home (if it's good, even donate something).
How long is the pilot?

Half hour
I noticed a lot of Optical Flares in the part where they were retrieving the space capsule.
I mean, it is a low budget project.
It's still good though.
Kinda cool. I wonder what the fuck is going on.
I watched this last weekend, its actually fairly high production values. I'm probably going to donate some money.
Downloading now.
EDIT: Downloading at a constant 1.5MB/s which seems to be my ISP max.

[sp] A Russian space capsule from Mars has crash landed in Montana. Radiation from the battery makes people sick. Government agents track down the capsule, find a young man in it. The agents decide to recruit a renegade scientist for help [/sp]
Donating. I don't care if I won't like it (havent gotten it yet) but this is amazing.

Question: is Pioneer 1 made by vodo, or is it another thing altogether?
I think this is pretty cool for being kinda indie
