The Kontiki P2P engine is used by several VOD services, including the BBC and
Channel 4 in the UK. This service adds itself to your startup group without any
notification. It hogs bandwidth and there is no settings in the associated
player GUI to throttle the bandwidth usage (you can do this with a third-party
app like Netlimiter).
Overall, I have to say this is a poorly designed piece of software.
