Josh,
I remember the early days of FireAnt, and meeting you guys and realizing how
cool it was that tools were growing up from our community.
You certainly deserve it, and I wish FireAnt the best in this new endeavor.
Congratulations! ... Richard

Josh, founder and creator of FireAnt is one person who has always
been on the about page of Rocketboom. We met at school and connected
over building the first blog at Parsons School of Design and always
discussed online patterns and activity
It's great. Congrats. Nice summary, Andrew.
I wonder whether at the same time as making many more people aware of
it, Apple actually set back video podcasting with iTunes. It so
limited people's ability to connect with the creators and the whole
watching experience was so bad, and so
Yes.

Hey Sull,
Yes, Try uninstalling the old version of FireAnt first before

Alternatively, you can try removing/renaming the FireAnt database located at:

Hey Josh,
I feel your pain... We're a small team with limited resources at the

So, when i add a feed to FireAnt app, it ends up appearing on FireAnt.tv.How can I get it removed? How can I prevent this from happening?I added a private feed for testing in FA and do not want it publically listed in a directory.

No documentation needed, really. BitTorrent files download and play like any other file. While a BitTorrent file is downloading it is simultaneously seeding, as per the BitTorrent protocol. We have not added a configurable seeding ratio after download however (so perhaps it is less of a true
