BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. 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.

Pktstat listens to the network and shows the bandwidth being consumed
by packets of various kinds in realtime. It understands some protocols
(including FTP, HTTP, and X11) and adds a descriptive name next to the
entry.
Ices version 0 is a source client for streaming MP3 audio to Shoutcast,
Icecast v1 and v2 servers. Due to Perl being shipped on OpenBSD by
default, custom playlist handlers written in Perl are always supported
by this port.

Libshout is a library for communicating with and sending data to an
icecast server. It handles the socket connection, the timing of the
data, and prevents bad data from getting to the icecast server.
With just a few lines of code, a programmer can easily turn any
application into a streaming source for an icecast server. Libshout
also allows developers who want a specific feature set (database
access, request taking) to concentrate on that feature set, instead of
worrying about how server communication works.
