Topic: Bit Torrent


  
  BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
The torrent file tells the client the address of the tracker, which, in turn, maintains a log of which users are downloading the file and where the file and its fragments reside.
Ultimately, a perfect torrent would leave two end users with only a.50 ratio for the torrent, which means every user would have to provide new content at least equal to the portion of data they did not get to upload in the last torrent to maintain an overall ratio of 1.00.
While a 1.00 ratio per torrent is not feasible as a rule for all users who download that file, it is more of a guideline to encourage the average upstream of a given network.

 broadband » News » Bit Torrent the intelligent p2p - About time it was adopted by mainstream sites
Bit Torrent is a remarkably small and neat piece of Unix/Python software engineering (with windows ports) that solves several (but not all) problems existing on almost all past file sharing systems.
In addition, although the Bit Torrent network is entirely ad-hoc, with no central point of failure, for a given FILE on the network, there still is a point of failure, or at least unreliability: for every.torrent file offered by a Torrent savvy web server, there must be a "tracker" up.
The sad thing about the Bit Torrent project is that despite that it is cool technology, built by a smart guy, used by smart people (its a favorite with the slashdot community), the percentage of copyright material on the network overwhelms the percentage of legitimate material.

 Bit Torrent   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-11)
Unlike traditional file sharing systems, the primary intention of torrents and the bit torrent client is to provide an efficient way to distribute the same file to a large group of people by having everybody that downloads a file also upload it to others.
It also provides statistics about the number of transfers to allow for faster bit torrent downloads, the number of nodes who have a complete copy of the file and number of nodes who only have a partial copy also allowing the user to resume bit torrent download.
The desired bit torrent file or collection of files is downloaded from the sources provided by the tracker server, and while it is downloaded, it is also uploaded to other sources, with the client utilizing the amount of bandwidth available to it unless a limit is set by the user.

 Bit Torrent - how to use, make, distribute
Bit Torrent pieces together the file you are downloading, to where the first part of a file you get may be the last part someone else gets.

 BitTorrent FAQ and Guide
When there are zero seeds for a given torrent (and not enough peers to have a distributed copy), then eventually all the peers will get stuck with an incomplete file, since no one in the swarm has the missing pieces.
Make sure the torrent is "live." Use an experimental build of the client that shows the number of peers and seeds to which you are connected.
Another good source for torrents are the various Forums, such as: Filesoup.com, Digital Update, Bytemonsoon.net (completely unrelated to the old bytemonsoon.com), p2pforums.com, btrocks.com, and probably many others.
