BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a protocol designed for transferring files. It's a peer-to-peer protocol where users connects each other to share portions of files. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore it can support a large number of users with limited bandwith.The key philosophy of BitTorrent is that users should upload (transmit outbound) at the same time they are downloading (receiving inbound.) This way, network bandwith is used as it's best. BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases.
