How to download files with BitTorrent by James Thornton

BitTorrent is a P2P client that allows you to download torrent files quickly and easily.

The file you want to download is cut up into small segments shared by users, creating what is called a swarm, and does not go through a central server, significantly reducing the bulk of file transfers. The BitTorrent client was the first P2P application to use this technology and became immensely popular when it was released.

Remember, that it is illegal to download files that are protected by copyright, where you don't have the express permission of the copyright holder.
