I found this after re-installing and was not able to log on when i was told i was logging in from a different PC. I got suspicious that my PC details had been transmitted
Some of you maybe using this, here is a little warning if you want to keep your bandwith
Will the peer-to-peer distribution slow down my internet usage or download requests on my PC?
The Kontiki program is designed to run in the background and not interfere with other activity on your PC. This means that it will slow down its own activities while you're using the internet for other things, including using Sky by broadband, or browsing the internet, or using your email.
How does Sky use Kontiki's secure peer-to-peer technology to deliver videos to my PC?
Sky by broadband displays the video content available for you to download. Kontiki offers the underlying peer-to-peer technology which delivers the videos you choose in a secure, efficient manner, enabling very large, high-resolution videos to be delivered to your computer.
Specifically, the Kontiki technology determines how to download the video you selected by searching for sources of that video on locations which may include Sky's own network, or other users of Sky's Kontiki network or "grid". If the video can be delivered to you more quickly and efficiently from another computer, that's exactly what Kontiki will do! Conversely, your computer is also part of Sky's Kontiki grid, so your computer might be used as a source location for transferring a video to another Sky user.
