Torrent :


A popular file sharing service developed by

Bram Cohen that prevents
people from downloading constantly unless

they are willing to share
in the overall transmission load on the

network. Released in the
summer of 2001, BitTorrent is similar to

KaZaA and other distributed
swapping services where users download from

other users and do not
use a centralized directory as in the

original Napster service.
However, BitTorrent is also different than

all of them because it
makes every downloading user an uploading

user.


Large Files Become Torrents

Instead of downloading an entire file,

BitTorrent breaks a file into
chunks and distributes them among several

participating users.
When you download a "torrent," you are also

uploading it to another
user. BitTorrent balances the load because

broadband download and
upload speeds are not the same. Users

download files faster than
they can upload them, which makes them less

interested in sharing
bandwidth to upload to someone else.

BitTorrent ensures every user
participates in uploading.

BitTorrent has become widely used for

transferring huge program files
as well as pirated movies. In 2004, one

estimate placed BitTorrent
files as a third of all Internet traffic.

Although the specific
amount for BitTorrent may vary, the

combination of all file sharing
applications in use account for a huge chunk

of traffic.for more information
