Ace Stream – P2P Multimedia Platform
Ace Stream is an innovative multimedia platform of a new generation, which includes different products and solutions for ordinary Internet users as well as for professional members of the multimedia market.
Note: Ace Stream uses in its core, P2P (peer-to-peer) technology, BitTorrent protocol, which is acknowledged as the most effective protocol to transfer/deliver «heavy content».
Ace Stream is more than just BitTorrent client for file exchange via P2P-networks!
The main directions of platform specialization: AVoD (Audio and Video on Demand), Live Stream (live broadcast), localization of foreign BitTorrent traffic, decentralized social networks, and IOTT (Interactive-Over-The-Top).
Ace Stream platform provides excellent audio-visual quality for Internet online broadcasts/shows and the most effective system of storing and delivering audio and video content.
Note: Ace Stream users watch online video with audio-visual quality level ten times greater than quality of video on YouTube (provided in 1080p format) and many times greater than broadcasts/shows of all other existing services of VoD and Live Stream provided by OTT (Over The Top) service operators, which do not use P2P technology.
No existing Live Stream service or standard CDN operator using unicast can provide live broadcast with the same high level quality, for the same number of viewers, that can be provided by the average Ace Stream user from his personal computer using home Internet-channel!

7. «Turbo Stream» function (no analogues in the world!)
Service function for Premium users of Ace Stream
Two modes:
1. Gold Seeding — guaranteed audio/video stream when playing online content via torrent-files and magnet-links, despite number of peers and their upload speed. This function also provides instant playback start (minimum pre-buffering) and immediate response when rewinding.
2. Silver Seeding — depends on seeds’ upload speed, but can significantly improve the speed of playback start, as well as instant response when rewinding. This mode also provides maximum smooth playback, removing the main P2P problems such as buffering delays during play.
Note: Considering that Turbo Stream function not only provides unique features for end users, but also allows Internet-providers to use this server solution for the effective localization of external/foreign BitTorrent traffic (more than 90%), it is possible that this service will be supported directly by your provider as well. In such case, no matter which site/BitTorrent tracker you use to receive torrents/magnet-links, you will always have downloads (uploads) with the maximum available speed for your Internet channel within local networks. And, of course, support of this function directly by Internet-provider will be a huge advantage for those users whose traffic is separated between local and external.
8. Ace Stream Cloud
Cloud service that has no equal in the world!
Ability to play online audio/video content via torrents and magnet-links without need to install P2P client. By utilizing Ace Stream Cloud, user receives data/stream via HTTP protocol.
Supported formats of transport files: torrent, acestream, acelive, tstream.
Magnet-links, acestream-links and Content ID (content identifier in Ace Stream System) are also supported.
The main feature and uniqueness of the service is a substitution/transformation of P2P-traffic into HTTP/HTTPS within a trice (the change of data transfer protocols will be implemented instantly in real time, without need to wait for data upload on cloud service).
Note: This is important for users, who want to watch video and listen to audio, distributed via BitTorrent networks, but have difficulties using P2P client (provider cuts P2P-traffic, no P2P client for your OS, etc.)
This function can be available for you not only from our cloud service, but also directly from your Internet-provider, because used server solution is also included in complex solution for providers with maximum localization of external/foreign BitTorrent traffic. Using our software, such service can be organized by anyone across all Internet-space, as well as within local networks.
About some advantages of Ace Stream over other BitTorrent clients
Ace Stream is the best and the most functional BitTorrent client for playing torrents online!
(«BitTorrent clients», hereinafter, «clients»)
(«BitTorrent clients», hereinafter, «clients»)
About advantages:
1. Start playing torrents online in one click. There is no such feature in other clients!
Ability to start online playback of audio/video content in one click on any web-site containing links to torrent-files.
2. Quick start/minimal time for waiting before start playing content
Time, spent on pre-buffering, is less than in other clients.
3. A new HTTP2P protocol / The best HTTP-seeding support
All the best from two protocols, HTTP and BitTorrent, are combined together!
If there is a quality HTTP-support (HTTP-seed), the speed of playback start is many times greater than the work of other clients. This also provides instant response when rewinding.
Note: When using HTTP2P, the speed of start and respond when rewinding are superior to any other standard VoD (Video on Demand) technology, while allowing for incredible advantages of effective P2P use.
4. Playback without delays (without stops for buffering)
Under equal conditions Ace Stream provides smoother, more stable video playback than other clients. Also, a mode providing necessary level of pre-buffering for playback without delays can be used optionally, if the download speed is lower than the speed of played content bit rate.
5. Ability to start playback from any point of time. There is no such feature in other clients!
Allows you to specify a period of time from which content playback will start as well as when it is published and/or shared.
6. Ability to rewind. There is no such feature in other clients!
Rewind is implemented in the same way as when playing audio and video files, storing on user’s local device.
7. Convenient work with a playlist (when torrent contains several video files). There is no such feature in other clients!
- Ability to form a playlist from audio/video files contained in one or more torrents.
- Ability to choose sequence of playback files.
- Smooth transition between played files.
8. Cached data protection. There is no such feature in other clients!
To provide maximum effective work of P2P, all played content is stored in a specialized folder with technical name (cache) and auto cleaning function. All cache data is encrypted and not available for playing, providing protection for users of client applications from any charges of storing played online content (more details). It also gives ability to use all BitTorrent provider potential, with full content protection from unauthorized use and distribution.
Note: Storing freely-distributed files in a convenient user location and in an opened form is available via the «Save» function located on the control panel of players with Ace Stream technology support.
9. Possibility of BitTorrent protocol support for any played video on video hosting
(such as YouTube). There is no such feature in other clients!

10. Online playback of all most popular formats
Ace Stream products allow you to play video files via torrents, which are impossible to play online in many other clients, including utorrent+vlc (AVI containers in OpenDML format).
11. Effective and harmless algorithm of work with BitTorrent network, when playing content online
Ace Stream does not use the obligatory sequence of data pieces/segments download, as other BitTorrent clients do. Implemented algorithm is absolutely harmless and harmonious for BitTorrent swarm and does not cause problems with «congestions/traffic jams» when using obligatory sequence of data pieces/segments download.
12. Live Stream — live broadcast
- Minimum time delay.
- Pause function.
- Time Shift function gives ability to watch broadcasts from the previous period of time, up to 60 minutes.
Note: A unique feature of our Time Shift implementation function is that it works for all existing P2P broadcasts without need to previously enable for recording the broadcast on user device. To use Time Shift function you do not need to enable video recording!

Full package of Ace Stream Software contains:
Ace Stream HD – multimedia stream manager (BitTorrent-client of a new generation!);
ACE Player HD is an improved version of VLC multimedia player with BitTorrent support;
Ace Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in - multifunctional web-player, based on libvlc (plug-in for web-browsers);
TS Magic Player – an additional extension for browsers Mozilla Firefox, Google Chrome and Opera (extends the multimedia capabilities of many popular sites). For information: version for Oprah web browser is installed separately and is not included to the installer.
Installation / Setup
Video instruction
Testing after installation
Before using Ace Stream Software make sure that it works, using a test web player and submitted for the test torrent files. Go to test:
Options and settings
To personalize Ace Stream HD settings and/or to activate an account in Ace Stream System use menu 'Options'. To open menu 'Options' move the cursor on the icon 'Ace Stream', which is available in the system tray (when running the program) and making a right click, select 'Options' and click on this menu item.
Ace Stream HD options:
«Login/Password» – entry fields for user data in Ace Stream System. It is used for activation of additional functions.
«Cache Folder» – specifies the directory of the folder used for temporary caching of multimedia data.
«Maximum upload speed» - establishes a limit on the speed of streaming upload of multimedia data to other users.
«Maximum download speed» - establishes a limit on the speed of download of multimedia data from other users.
«Disk cache volume» – allows you to assign the maximum volume of disk space that you are willing to allocate for temporary caching of multimedia data. (If you reach the limit of the cache size, files from it will be partially deleted, freeing up the space for caching playing file).
«Automatically limit the download speed» - in automatic mode the download speed will not exceed the speed of bitrate with the additional ratio 1.3 (1.3 * bitrate).
«Start playback only with sufficient speed» - if the speed of downloading is lower than the speed of the bitrate of playing file, then the playback will start when the volume of the formed cache and the download speed will allow to play the file without interruption for buffering.
«Enable playback entertainment spots during pre-buffering» - this option will help you to spend time of pre-buffering with pleasure, starting at this period of time playback of announcement of new movies and other entertainment content. Attention! This is not advertising spots and rewind function will be available, if you want to skip them or turn off when you see that pre-buffering has been already completed. And the most important – these playbacks noways, not for one second will increase your time of pre-buffering!!! (How can that be!? Just try first, and you always will have time to distinguish!)
«Extended options»:
- «Cleaning the cache folder» - removes files downloaded by the program from the cache folder.
Settings of ACE Player HD are implemented according to the settings of the original program, namely VLC player. For detailed information, please visit the developer site VideoLAN.
Most of the ACE Player HD settings are synchronized with the settings of Ace Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in. This means, for example, that if you want to enable support for hardware acceleration for web players, then you only have to set this setting in the desktop version of the player, and it also will work for web players. Attention! Settings for Ace Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in will take effect after restarting your web browser.
Before you start using Ace Stream software, test its work using test web player and test torrent files. Go to test:
1. The main criteria for quality and smooth playback of video and audio online via torrents:
For online playback of audio-visual content via torrents the speed of your Internet connection for the incoming traffic (download) must be higher than the total bitrate of file tracks. Optimal ratio is 1/1.3 (bitrate/download speed). You can check the speed of your connection here.
The second criteria is the speed of video/audio streaming from its source. This source includes all pool participants (peers) who provide you with the video/audio stream, and you in turn become a source of video/audio for other members of the pool.
Information about the number of peers as well as the download and upload speed is displayed when you place the cursor over the plug-in's icon in the system tray:
DL – download speed (кб/с)
UL – upload speed (кб/с)
Helping – the number of peers
UL – upload speed (кб/с)
Helping – the number of peers
Information for calculating the speed: 1000 kbit/s (kbps) = 125 KByte/s (kB/s) = 7,3 MB/min = 439.5 MB/hour
Example of calculation:
Video: 1744 kbps
Audio 1 : 128 kbps
Audio 2 : 128 kbps
Video: 1744 kbps
Audio 1 : 128 kbps
Audio 2 : 128 kbps
Total bitrate: 2000 kbps = (1744 +128 +128) kbps = 250 KByte/sec (kB/s) = 14.6 MB/min = 879 MB/hour
Result: the value of DL, at 2000 kbps, must be higher than 250
The optimal value of DL = 250*1.3 = 325
2. Playback starts after pre-buffering
It means that minimal cache is formed before playback start. It will provide you ability of nonstop playback of streaming video/audio.
Attention! The time of pre-buffering depends only on the speed of your Internet connection and the total upload speed of all peers, not the work of Ace Stream software!
For example, if you try to play video using the torrent file that will take one day to download with regular torrent-client, then don’t wait for a miracle from the plug-in: the pre-buffering time in such case will be very long.
A large number of peers do not guaranty fast pre-buffering.
For example, if two peers at the beginning provide you with upload speed that exceeds total video bitrate then pre-buffering will take less than one minute. On the other hand, if you are connected to 50 peers but total upload speed from those peers is less than minimal required download speed then pre-buffering will last much longer.
Attention! If pre-buffering lasts more than 1-2 minutes check the download speed (DL) to decide whether it is possible to watch the video using plug-in.
Note: Please, do not spoil your impressions from using our products and watching video online, using unsuitable for this torrents, surrounded by the pool that cannot provide necessary download speed.
3. Playback without delays if download speed is lower than bitrate of the playback file
If the download speed is lower than the bitrate speed and you do not want the playback to be interrupted, then you have the opportunity to use the option «Start with suffcient speed only» Playback will start only when the amount of formed cache and the download speed allows to play the file without interruption for buffering.
This option is the default, but you can disable it from the menu 'Options', unchecking the appropriate menu item: 'start with suffcient speed only'.
How everything will happen if the option is enabled?
When you run the file, after pre-buffering, if download speed of the stream (DL) is not enough for continuous playback, it will stop and you'll see in the information line of the player message and information about the time after which the playback will start without delays. After the specified time, playback starts automatically. Well, if the download speed is optimal for continuous playback of the file, it will start playing and continue without interruptions.
Information about the remaining time before the playback starts will be dynamically changed depending on the volume of filling of cache and the download speed. If you notice that somehow time instead of decreasing began to increase, just look at the download speed (DL), because it obviously began to fall. There are two reasons: 1. Peers fell off. 2. You have a problem with Internet connection.
4. Mediafiles, when you watch them online, are automatically downloaded to the directory, which was specified during the installation of Ace Stream software or in menu «Options»
By default, the video is downloaded to directory:: C:TorrentStream
5. Set the optimal upload speed
Concept of this plug-in supports the basic concepts of P2P and in its options the setting of determining the upload speed is provided.
Video/audio is uploaded to other peers while playing and after the playback is finished if you don’t turn off Ace Stream HD.
Attention! Don’t be greedy and set the maximum upload speed if you have unlimited outbound traffic. The upload speed through TS plug-in doesn't affect the speed of loading video.
6. All settings and control over Ace Stream HD, as well as its disconnection are performed through its menu, which is called by clicking the mouse on the TS icon, located in the system tray of your OS:
7. Optimize your player
If you don’t have a very powerful computer or the speed of your Internet connection is limited then don’t run more than one player simultaneously. In addition, close all unnecessary windows of the browser and programs that consume a lot of resources of your computer or Internet traffic. These recommendations become even more important if you want to watch high-quality video (e.g. 720p or 1080p)
If your computer has GPU (graphics processor/video card), then to reduce a burden on CPU (central processing unit), enable option «use video accelerator» in the desktop player settings (ACE Player HD). restart your browser after enabling support for hardware acceleration to make it work for web players. Attention! This option may not work properly with some video cards!
8. Stop content downloading
If you decided to stop downloading or watching video-content, using web player, then don't forget to stop downloading by clicking the button «Stop downloading» or simply close the page with the player.
Note: Information and recommendations will be added periodically, as far as more functions will be added to the player and more questions from you will be received. Therefore, don't forget to visit this page from time to time

TS Magic Player – additional extension for browsers Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome. Allows you to play online video and audio content in its original quality on the most popular torrent trackers, without any need to download torrent files and without waiting for content download.
Attention! Later other assemblies will be presented, from basic (only the engine itself) to advanced, which will contain various interesting products and solutions, so you can always choose what software do you need. Install only what you need!
By this release we want to draw attention of all to the fact that Ace Stream P2P Multimedia Plug-in is not the only and exclusive basis of Ace Stream System, and that the basis of TS System is Ace Stream engine (Ace Stream HD) itself only, that can work with any desktop player (VLC; The KMPlayer; MPlayer, etc.) and media centers (XBMC; Mediaportal, etc.), as well as with web players based on any technology, including HTML5.
In version 3.1 many bugs are fixed and algorithms of the engine are improved, which you can clearly see when using the player.
What's new:
New implementation of http-seeding!
The main innovative feature in version 2.1 is http-seeding. Nowadays there are two basic implementations of this support (bep_0017; bep_0019). We decided to combine the capabilities of these add-ins and add our implementation, which is actually an innovative, allowing you to erase brink in the area of quick start and rewind response while playing online video and audio content, between media platforms, built on the basis of such technologies like flash or silverlight, and media platforms that use bittorrent protocol, based on Ace Stream technology.
How and where can you clearly see and make comparison tests?
1. Use a torrent which has http-seed with a quality source of stream support (in which the upload speed will not be lower than the bitrate speed of the playing file), or several http-seeds, which is even better.
Several torrent files for tests: torrent1, torrent2, torrent3, torrent4 (these are files that are used in our demo player). If you want to make a comparative test and clearly see advantages of Ace Stream over any other existing programs, just start playback of these torrent files via torrent client that you know, which have a feature of video playback without waiting for complete download. Then you can compare the rate of waiting time before the start of playback.
Attention! If the upload speed of http-seed or a total speed of all http-seeds will be lower than the bitrate speed, then the software will work in normal mode and you will not feel a significant difference in such support. This restriction will also be applied if the speed of your Internet connection will be lower than the bitrate speed, so choose for the test only the content that will be acceptable for your online channel and torrents with quality http-support.
2. To compare performance of the player based on Flash technology and Ace Stream, select additional extension for browser: P2P You Tube. With this extension you can play all video on You Tube directly through torrents in our web player (full support of P2P, via BitTorrent protocol, is implemented).
Desktop player for playing torrents
Assembly contains desktop version of the player (ACE Player HD), which will allow you to launch and play torrents in it, as ordinary video and audio files. Also if you know content ID you can specify it when choosing a source in an appropriate option of the player (content ID is an analogue of magnet-links). To find out ID of playing content you need to open tab «player code and links» in the player.
Attention! Desktop version of the player is also needed for using extended settings of the browser player, because most of ACE Player HD settings are synchronized with the web player. For example, if you want to use video accelerator or reassign hot keys for the web player, you will need to go to ACE Player HD settings, set this options and restart the page with the player or a browser (which is better), and all new settings will be applied to the web player.
TS Magic Player
Another easy and very convenient and functional extension for browsers Mozilla Firefox and Google Chrome is included in the main assembly. With this extension you can start in one click playing video and audio content on a huge number of popular torrent trackers of the world in its original quality and without any need to download torrent files and without waiting for content download.
Complete seeding!
Now complete seeding of cached content is carried out! This means that until you delete all files, saved after the playback, they will be in the mode of seeding, thereby helping to obtain high-quality stream to other users of bittorrent networks, unless you disable Ace Stream HD (old name is bgprocess). Now you don't have to install other torrent clients to support the seeding.
Automatic update.
Use automatic update option, so you could always have a new version of Ace Stream software and you no longer have to waste time on reinstalling.
To enable this option you need to set it during the installation (it's enabled by default).
Updates come into force for each individual product included in the installation package after the next restart of this product: engine (tsengine), web browser, for plug-in or extension update, desktop player.
Important! Some nuances of automatic update of TS Magic Player extension,
in Firefox:
1) if at the moment of installation an old version of the extension is installed on your computer, then a new version will be disabled after installing (to activate it you need to go to the extension settings and enable it);
2) if at the moment of installation an old version of the extension is installed on your computer and this version is stored in a packed form (as xpi-file) and Firefox is running, then a new version will appear only after rebooting computer.
Controls panel and context menu in the fullscreen mode for the web player.
With adding new feature, functionality of the controls panel will be increased.
Set of hot keys to control web player is extended.
Go to Player controls
Advertising video-spots at pre-buffering.
Considering that the majority of our users browse content on websites and trackers that don't provide high-quality http-support, that would allow to start playing the content in seconds, we included a new feature - playing advertising video-spots (announcements to movies, etc.) at pre-buffering time.
We hope that you will like this option, which allows you to spend time before playing the main content with pleasure, relieving you from a view of blank screen, as it was before.
And the most important – these video-spots noways, not for one second will increase your time of pre-buffering!!! How can that be!? With us this is possible! Let me remind Ace Stream slogan: Impossible is possible!
Anyway you can always disable this option or use rewind function, if a particular video-spot will be not interesting for you!
Setting a volume of disk cache and its automatic cleanup.
You don't have to worry about a possible lack of disk space due to replete cache folder, that you have allocated for Ace Stream System.
In the case of reaching the limit of cache size, files from it will be partially erased freeing up space for those that are played. When playing content that exceeds the cache size, the file will be cached, and there should not be any problems with playing. Value '0' is unlimited.
Installing software without administrator rights
Dependencies, related to the availability of administrator rights for the computer user to install Ace Stream software, are fixed.
From this version the program is installed in % APPDATA% TorrentStream (there is no a choice of the directory to install the program now).

Before you start using Ace Stream software, test its work using test web player and test torrent files. Go to test:
1. The main criteria for quality and smooth playback of video and audio online via torrents:
For online playback of audio-visual content via torrents the speed of your Internet connection for the incoming traffic (download) must be higher than the total bitrate of file tracks. Optimal ratio is 1/1.3 (bitrate/download speed). You can check the speed of your connection here.
The second criteria is the speed of video/audio streaming from its source. This source includes all pool participants (peers) who provide you with the video/audio stream, and you in turn become a source of video/audio for other members of the pool.
Information about the number of peers as well as the download and upload speed is displayed when you place the cursor over the plug-in's icon in the system tray:
DL – download speed (кб/с)
UL – upload speed (кб/с)
Helping – the number of peers
UL – upload speed (кб/с)
Helping – the number of peers
Information for calculating the speed: 1000 kbit/s (kbps) = 125 KByte/s (kB/s) = 7,3 MB/min = 439.5 MB/hour
Example of calculation:
Video: 1744 kbps
Audio 1 : 128 kbps
Audio 2 : 128 kbps
Video: 1744 kbps
Audio 1 : 128 kbps
Audio 2 : 128 kbps
Total bitrate: 2000 kbps = (1744 +128 +128) kbps = 250 KByte/sec (kB/s) = 14.6 MB/min = 879 MB/hour
Result: the value of DL, at 2000 kbps, must be higher than 250
The optimal value of DL = 250*1.3 = 325
2. Playback starts after pre-buffering
It means that minimal cache is formed before playback start. It will provide you ability of nonstop playback of streaming video/audio.
Attention! The time of pre-buffering depends only on the speed of your Internet connection and the total upload speed of all peers, not the work of Ace Stream software!
For example, if you try to play video using the torrent file that will take one day to download with regular torrent-client, then don’t wait for a miracle from the plug-in: the pre-buffering time in such case will be very long.
A large number of peers do not guaranty fast pre-buffering.
For example, if two peers at the beginning provide you with upload speed that exceeds total video bitrate then pre-buffering will take less than one minute. On the other hand, if you are connected to 50 peers but total upload speed from those peers is less than minimal required download speed then pre-buffering will last much longer.
Attention! If pre-buffering lasts more than 1-2 minutes check the download speed (DL) to decide whether it is possible to watch the video using plug-in.
Note: Please, do not spoil your impressions from using our products and watching video online, using unsuitable for this torrents, surrounded by the pool that cannot provide necessary download speed.
3. Playback without delays if download speed is lower than bitrate of the playback file
If the download speed is lower than the bitrate speed and you do not want the playback to be interrupted, then you have the opportunity to use the option «Start with suffcient speed only» Playback will start only when the amount of formed cache and the download speed allows to play the file without interruption for buffering.
This option is the default, but you can disable it from the menu 'Options', unchecking the appropriate menu item: 'start with suffcient speed only'.
How everything will happen if the option is enabled?
When you run the file, after pre-buffering, if download speed of the stream (DL) is not enough for continuous playback, it will stop and you'll see in the information line of the player message and information about the time after which the playback will start without delays. After the specified time, playback starts automatically. Well, if the download speed is optimal for continuous playback of the file, it will start playing and continue without interruptions.
Information about the remaining time before the playback starts will be dynamically changed depending on the volume of filling of cache and the download speed. If you notice that somehow time instead of decreasing began to increase, just look at the download speed (DL), because it obviously began to fall. There are two reasons: 1. Peers fell off. 2. You have a problem with Internet connection.
4. Mediafiles, when you watch them online, are automatically downloaded to the directory, which was specified during the installation of Ace Stream software or in menu «Options»
By default, the video is downloaded to directory:: C:TorrentStream
5. Set the optimal upload speed
Concept of this plug-in supports the basic concepts of P2P and in its options the setting of determining the upload speed is provided.
Video/audio is uploaded to other peers while playing and after the playback is finished if you don’t turn off Ace Stream HD.
Attention! Don’t be greedy and set the maximum upload speed if you have unlimited outbound traffic. The upload speed through TS plug-in doesn't affect the speed of loading video.
6. All settings and control over Ace Stream HD, as well as its disconnection are performed through its menu, which is called by clicking the mouse on the TS icon, located in the system tray of your OS:
7. Optimize your player
If you don’t have a very powerful computer or the speed of your Internet connection is limited then don’t run more than one player simultaneously. In addition, close all unnecessary windows of the browser and programs that consume a lot of resources of your computer or Internet traffic. These recommendations become even more important if you want to watch high-quality video (e.g. 720p or 1080p)
If your computer has GPU (graphics processor/video card), then to reduce a burden on CPU (central processing unit), enable option «use video accelerator» in the desktop player settings (ACE Player HD). restart your browser after enabling support for hardware acceleration to make it work for web players. Attention! This option may not work properly with some video cards!
8. Stop content downloading
If you decided to stop downloading or watching video-content, using web player, then don't forget to stop downloading by clicking the button «Stop downloading» or simply close the page with the player.
Note: Information and recommendations will be added periodically, as far as more functions will be added to the player and more questions from you will be received. Therefore, don't forget to visit this page from time to time
