BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file-sharing protocol designed to distribute large amounts of data over the internet efficiently. It works by breaking down files into smaller chunks, which are then shared among multiple users simultaneously. Unlike traditional methods where files are downloaded from a single source, BitTorrent allows users to download from multiple sources, increasing download speeds and reducing strain on any single server. This decentralized approach also enhances resilience to network congestion and reduces the risk of data loss. BitTorrent has become widely used for sharing large files such as software, movies, music, and other media, facilitating faster and more reliable distribution across the internet.
