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