BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely
|
|
easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks.
|
|
Whenever more than one person is downloading at once
|
|
they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving
|
|
the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many
|
|
simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server
|
|
remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new
|
|
upload capacity.
