| | Bittorrent - definition of Bittorrent in Encyclopedia |
 | | The reason files download faster using the BitTorrent protocol, is that a user's computer simultaneously downloads chunks of the file from many different computers. | | | There were BitTorrent links on Slashdot to the Half-Life 2 source code (soon after it was leaked in October 2003), as well as to the (incomplete) Windows NT and Windows 2000 source trees in February 2004 (amidst rumored third-party leaks). | | | Following the success of the BitTorrent protocol, its creator was hired to develop a means of distributing patches and other content for online video games in 2004, proving that there are some less controversial reasons for the development of this technology. |

| | Howstuffworks "How BitTorrent Works" |
| | BitTorrent client software communicates with a tracker to find other computers running BitTorrent that have the complete file (seed computers) and those with a portion of the file (peers that are usually in the process of downloading the file). | | | The tracker identifies the swarm, which is the connected computers that have all of or a portion of the file and are in the process of sending or receiving it. | | | If you continue to run the BitTorrent client software after your download is complete, others can receive.torrent files from your computer; your future download rates improve because you are ranked higher in the "tit-for-tat" system. |

| | What is BitTorrent? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary |
| | BitTorrent is a file distribution system used for transferring files across a network of people. | | | As you download a file, BitTorrent places what you download on upload for other users; when multiple people are downloading the same file at the same time they upload pieces of the file to each other. | | | As you continue to retrieve the file, BitTorrent also uploads data to other users. |

| | As BitTorrent is only a file-download protocol, it relies on other (global) components, such as websites, for finding files. | | | In Table 1, we show for the most popular of these websites the number of different files and the number of active file transfers at a certain time. | | | Measurements on Internet backbones indicate that BitTorrent has evolved into one of the most popular networks [8]. |

| | Using BitTorrent |
| | BitTorrent is a unique Peer-to-Peer (P2P) program that interconnects a lot of different computers and allows them to "pool" their collective bandwidth together. | | | The only way to download a file with BitTorrent is to actually click on a link and there are no randomly shared directories or files on your machine. | | | A: You can use BitTorrent behind a firewall or NAT but, you'll get much better performance if other peers (computers) can connect to you. |

| | However it is worth remembering that Shareaza 1.9 is still in beta so existing algorithm issues may yet be resolved and with Shareaza’s support for other networks (Gnutella 1, Gnutella 2 and eDonkey) it may provide a better experience than the official client for some users. | | | Simply, Click on the torrent file and a Bittorrent window will pop up and the file will start downloading. | | | Most importantly, while Kazaa Lite or WinMX provide a good solution for most Mp3 files, BitTorrent is used more to find different types of files. |
