BitTorrent

BitTorrent is a way to share and download files over the internet without relying on a single server. Instead, it uses a network of people sharing the same file, with each person contributing a small part of the process. This makes it faster and more efficient, especially for large files like videos, software, or other digital content.

BitTorrent can be helpful for downloading free (and legal!) content, such as open-source software, public domain books, or educational materials. It’s also useful for sharing large files, like family videos or photo collections, with friends and family.

Think of BitTorrent like a swarm of ants working together to carry a heavy object. By dividing the work among many users, BitTorrent speeds up downloads and makes the process more reliable.
