Bittorrent is a method of distributing large
amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring
the whole of the corresponding costs of hardware, hosting
and bandwidth resources. Instead of the distributor alone
servicing each recipient, under BitTorrent the recipients
each also supply data to newer recipients, thus significantly
reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source
as well as providing redundancy against system problems, and
reducing dependence upon the original distributor.
A BitTorrent client is any program which
implements the BitTorrent protocol. Each client is capable
of preparing, requesting, and transmitting any type of computer
file over a network, using the protocol. A peer is any computer
running an instance of a client.
Creating and publishing torrents - The peer
distributing the file breaks it down into a number identically-sized
pieces, typically between 64 kB and 1 MB each. Pieces over
512 kB are used to reduce the size of torrent files for very
large payloads, but also reduce the efficiency of the protocol
the name of a torrent file has the suffix .torrent.
Torrent files contain an "announce" section, which
specifies the URL of the tracker, and an "info"
section which contains (suggested) names for the files, their
lengths, the piece length used, and a SHA-1 hash code for
each piece, which clients should use to verify the integrity
of the data they receive.
The peer places a link to the file on a website or elsewhere,
and registers it with a tracker.
