Does VUDU Use Peer-to-peer Distribution?

Yes, VUDU distributes content in part using an encrypted and efficient peer-based network. This network enables VUDU to provide its users with high performance and reliability regardless of demand. When you watch a movie, the movies is downloaded from a number of different places including other VUDU boxes and VUDU’s servers as required. You may also notice that your VUDU box sometimes uses your Internet connection when you are not actively watching a movie. Each VUDU box on the Internet contributes small amounts of data from time to time to help others enjoy the VUDU service. It is important to note that VUDU’s peer-based network is not in any way related to or based on BitTorrent. It is used only for the secure distribution of VUDU movies, TV shows and related content.
