[ excerpt from distribution's README.txt ]
|
|
|
|
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.
