hackdorte@20011 | 1 BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - |
hackdorte@20011 | 2 downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one |
hackdorte@20011 | 3 person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, |
hackdorte@20011 | 4 thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many |
hackdorte@20011 | 5 simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite |
hackdorte@20011 | 6 small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. |
