The hosts express frustration over a discovered 50-peer limit on BitTorrent Sync, which hinders its use for large-scale podcast distribution. They speculate that the company is moving toward a paid enterprise model similar to Dropbox, contradicting the decentralized nature of the technology.

Robert Jenkins, CEO of Cloud Sigma, has established dedicated BitTorrent Sync servers in Bulgaria, Switzerland, and the United States to facilitate faster distribution of the No Agenda show.

A new experiment using BitTorrent Sync allows users to download podcast episodes in seconds via a decentralized peer-to-peer network. Unlike Dropbox or iTunes, this method uses a secret hash to sync folders directly between users without a central server. While not yet available for mobile devices, the system offers a high-speed alternative to traditional RSS feeds.
