Torrents

The Bit Torrent network uses central websites that provide links, similar to old-fashioned library index cards, to files that are stored on computers connected to the internet.

Soon after the download begins, the receiving PC begins uploading the portions it has received to other users who have requested the same file.

By breaking down very large files - a typical 60-minute television show weighs in at 350MB, a feature-length film at 800MB or more - it is possible to rapidly transfer data between users that would choke a traditional file transfer system. At full throttle, a typical Australian broadband user can receive an hour-long TV show in about two hours.

Bit Torrent is doing what napster did for MP3's. Bit Torrent is a smart way to share files unfortunately too many people use it for unscrupulous purposes.
