BitTorrent 7.11.0
BitTorrent is a communications protocol for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing. It's a way to distribute large amounts of data on a large scale without the original distributor incurring the full costs of hardware, hosting, and bandwidth resources.
The protocol was designed in April 2001, implemented and first released on July 2, 2001 by programmer Bram Cohen, and is now maintained by BitTorrent, Inc. It identifies content by URL and is designed to integrate seamlessly with the web.
Its advantage over regular HTTP is that when multiple downloads of the same file occur concurrently, the downloaders upload to each other, making it possible for the file source to support very large numbers of downloaders with only a modest increase in its load.
Serving large files causes scaling, flash crowds, and reliability issues. The key to cheap file distribution is taking advantage of your customers' unused upload capacity.
