octoshape grid delivery (flash, installing, stream, work)

[oldtoiletsmkgdflrpots]

Can someone tell me what an octoshape grid delivery enhancement is? It's a prompt I'm getting from one of the news live feeds of the oil gusher.

By installing the Octoshape Grid Delivery enhancement for Adobe Flash Player, you will be able to view higher quality video streams. This software enhancement will also provide faster start up of content and less buffering and interruptions. These Octoshape enhancements will be installed on your computer as an add-in for the Adobe Flash Player and can be uninstalled at any time.

Thats what it is. An update of sorts.

To add to what he said...taken from tech life

"
Among other things, the ‘enhancement’ turns subscribers’ computers into relay stations, making them part of a grid to, “deliver parts of the video and audio stream to other end users of the Software,” as the Octoshape end user agreement clearly states.
Octoshape Grid Delivery is a peer-to-peer application that, in effect, uses the subscriber’s computer and Internet connection to create an ad-hoc distribution network for CNN."




Id personally avoid this

You will probably get the same prompt whenever you view a live stream.
