	BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.
		BitTorrent 4.0.4 running under Windows XP The method used by BitTorrent to distribute files parallels the one used by the eDonkey2000 network, but nodes in eDonkey's file sharing network usually share and download a much larger number of files, making the bandwidth available to each transfer much smaller.
		BitTorrent is also used to distribute updates to the BitTorrent client itself, as well as to other clients such as Azureus and BitComet.

	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.
		The BitTorrent protocol specifies that a tracker returns only a limited number (with a default of 20) of randomly selected peer IP numbers.
		In [7], the log of a Bittorrent tracker is analysed; it shows for a single file the flashcrowd effect and download speed.

		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.

		ABC ("Another BitTorrent Client") - This is a relatively new client that includes many of the most recent changes in the experimental versions, as well as other added features such as controling multiple downloads from a single window, queueing, automatic seeding, etc. See also: Sourceforge page.
		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 - P2p foundation
		BitTorrent is essentially a protocol, a way two computers can talk to each other, like HTTP (that thing your computer uses to talk to web pages), and you can use it to download files (like movies, games and mp3s) from the internet, and onto your computer.
		In the BitTorrent protocol, a file is broken down into a small number of fixed size packets.
		To this point, BitTorrent has been complicated enough that it hasn’t been adopted by artists, which means that most of the content people are sharing is being posted by people who didn’t make it themselves, mostly Hollywood movies and TV shows.

	Howstuffworks "How BitTorrent Works"
		BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast downloading of large files using minimum Internet bandwidth.
		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.
