Package details
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy
to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever
more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of
the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's
bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the
upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since
each new downloader introduces new upload capacity.
Background file allocation - missing file space is allocated in
the background, and hashes are checked only for pre-existing data.
Multitracker addition - .torrent file can now specify multiple
trackers Preferences menu - lets you conveniently configure the
GUI client Status light - gives you important information about
the torrent at a glance
This package has no releases.
