The focus of the business since January '08 was BitTorrent DNA, a P2P content delivery network. That was a non-starter actually bringing in close to zero income. The store, while it was far from breakeven, did generate revenue. Apparently the new plan is to circle the wagons around product development and come up with a commercially viable implementation of the technology — most likely targeted at ISPs and other large networks who want to increase efficiency of data movement.

Sounds like some of the same kind of stuff has been going on at Vuze, but nobody's hardly noticed.
