	What is BitTorrent? - A Word Definition From the Webopedia Computer Dictionary
		BitTorrent 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 is a file distribution system used for transferring files across a network of people.
		As you download a file, BitTorrent places what you download on upload for other users; when multiple people are downloading the same file at the same time they upload pieces of the file to each other.

	The BitTorrent P2P file-sharing system The Register
		In BitTorrent, files are split up into chunks (on the order of a thousand per file), and the downloaders of a file barter for chunks of it by uploading and downloading them in a tit-for-tat-like manner to prevent parasitic behavior.
		In [7], the log of a Bittorrent tracker is analysed; it shows for a single file the flashcrowd effect and download speed.
		The BitTorrent protocol specifies that a tracker returns only a limited number (with a default of 20) of randomly selected peer IP numbers.

	Experimenting with BitTorrent and RSS 2.0
		BitTorrent downloads are initiated on a desktop PC by launching the BitTorrent client on a special type of file called a ".torrent".
		Combining BitTorrent's cost savings with widely available RSS emitting tools should, for example, make it possible for a small group of motivated people across the world to create their own news channel.
		This could be a specialized BitTorrent client, such as btlaunchmany, or an operating-system hook that works like Adam Curry's RSS2iPod folder applescript.

	Howstuffworks "How BitTorrent Works"
		BitTorrent client software communicates with a tracker to find other computers running BitTorrent that have the complete file (seed computers) and those with a portion of the file (peers that are usually in the process of downloading the file).
		The tracker identifies the swarm, which is the connected computers that have all of or a portion of the file and are in the process of sending or receiving it.
		If you continue to run the BitTorrent client software after your download is complete, others can receive.torrent files from your computer; your future download rates improve because you are ranked higher in the "tit-for-tat" system.

	BitTorrent FAQ and Guide
		BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases, in contrast to other file transfer protocols.
		BitTorrent is not like other peer-to-peer applications (such as Winmx, Kazaa, Gnutella, etc.) in that it does not have its own "universe." Put another way, BT lives on top of the Web, which means that all of the searching/listing of available files is done on the web.
		BitTorrent uses the SHA hash function to determine which parts of the file are good and which are bad.

		BitTorrent also saturates the 'slow' side of asymmetric connections with it's uploading, which upsets the 'surf and download' usage the cable modem providers are expecting from their typical user.
		They use a similar idea to BitTorrent in that 'clients' can also become 'servers', but the model is different because the clients generally just help retransmit the feed they are receiving from an upstream server.
		A: BitTorrent clients play a tit-for-tat game with transfer rates; if you tell your client to limit its maximum upload rate, that will make its peers limit the rate they download to you at.
