Description

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer (P2P) file-sharing protocol used to download and share large files over the internet. It is different from regular downloading where the source of the file is a single server. Instead, with BitTorrent, the source of the file is shared among hundreds or thousands of users. A BitTorrent client is software that is used to identify and download the files from other users. It helps to coordinate the transfer and downloading of files, managing different connections and ensuring that the file is received in the correct order and without any errors. BitTorrent is used for a wide range of file types, including audio, video, software, and other types of files.
