BitTorrent, which has been trying to develop a business related to the open source P2P delivery technology, is in disarray. Company co-founder and president Ashwin Navin has left the company to start an incubator with other well-known tech executives, including YouTube co-founder Steve Chen, according to paidcontent.org. Navin’s departure was followed by CEO Douglas Walker; CTO Eric Klinker has succeeded Walker. The company has also let go about half of its employees after it whacked about 20% of its staff in August. The moves beg the question about whether a P2P tech service can sustain itself in the current climate.
