Ya, there are a few other related questions below. Resilio is BitTorrent-based. But I'm not 100% familiar with how Resilio differs from BitTorrent.

The core difference is in our approach. We're all open source and a non-profit. We're also really focused on the research data use case where BitTorrent is less easily deployed.

We hope that making an open and easy to use p2p protocol will enable other developers to build applications on top, and something like Resilio could be one.
