BitTorrent is a widely-used peer-to-peer communication protocol and accompanying software client for efficient distribution of data and electronic files across the internet. It enables users to download and share files in a decentralized manner, leveraging the collective bandwidth of participants rather than relying on a single server.
Unique Features
- Efficient for large files due to peer-to-peer structure.
- Decentralized network provides resilience and no single point of failure.
- Download speed often increases with more users sharing.
