BitTorrent – A revolution in P2P technology
BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast downloading of large files using minimum Internet bandwidth. It costs nothing to use and includes no spyware or popup advertising. Because of the nature of this protocol, large files can be handled more efficiently than thetypical client/server method. The protocol was designed in April 2001 and implemented in Summer 2002 by programmer BramCohen, and is now maintained by BitTorrent.
