BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol. BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data over the internet quickly. It is peer-to-peer in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. If you want more detailed technical information on the BitTorrent protocol, check out Wikipedia or the original specification.

Users download files via an online BitTorrent tracker, you can find hundreds of these BitTorrent trackers here on Zeropaid. Often, these types of sites force users to register on the site to download, so be aware of scam sites. You can also trade invites here.

In contrast to other file-transfer protocols, BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases.

Some Important BitTorrent Points

• Users do not have a shared folder.
• To download a file, or a group of files, you must find and download a torrent file.
• A torrent file tells the client what tracker to connect to and what to download.
• Torrent files are found at torrent websites.
• Whilst downloading, you upload parts of the file you have already downloaded.
• When finished downloading, it is important for the network that users continue to upload.
