Anacron is a periodic command scheduler. It executes
commands at intervals specified in days. Unlike cron, it
does not assume that the system is running continuously.
It can therefore be used to control the execution of
daily, weekly and monthly jobs (or anything with a period
of n days), on systems that don't run 24 hours a day.
When installed and configured properly, Anacron will make
sure that the commands are run at the specified intervals
as closely as machine-uptime permits.

insertions, deletions, and modifications per-file. It is useful for
reviewing large, complex patch files.

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.
