Bit Torrent is a p2p file sharing network, although it operates differently from
those such as kazaa. Rather than downloading from a single peer, the client
downloads a .torrent file, which it uses to find the file, and downloads from
many people at once. This makes it faster than clients such as emule, and a
major means of distribution, as it is now the best way to get iso's of Red Hat
Linux, as well as several games.
In order to use BT, one must have the client, as well as way to find
the torrent files to download. Torrent file can be found using either Torrent Search
or by browsing sites such as FileRush.
