BitTorrent is a file sharing client
created by Bram Cohen. The file sharing process is
unique because it spreads out the bandwidth burden by
through "seeders," which are users that have bits and
pieces of these files on their computers that they
exchange with each other to eventually create the entire
file.The client is smart enough
the get fragments from peers who have the best network
connections and often seek out those file fragments that
are most rare for the torrent, thus improving the
process for everyone else.
There are a lot of free BitTorrent
clients available. BitTorrent.com is the place to
start for those who want a no-nonsense client.
While file-sharing can be considered
illegal depending on the content, there are a lot of
legitimate sites out there who encourage you use
BitTorrent to help reduce their bandwidth costs.
This is a great way to apply this technology.
