Thanks, but please remember that Kazaa Lite is illegal, though I do use it once in a while to download a rare file or two.

Emule is much better.

I actually tried eMule a while ago, but I couldn't every get anything to start downloading. :(

Seems nobody's ever online. But maybe it's just with the things that I'm trying to download.

[Ronny]

It can be hit or miss, depending on where you are in the world but generally I've no great trouble!!

What's Bittorrent?
It that a peer-to-peer network like Kazaa, or something else?

[Zandro]

Ah, BitTorrent. :D


What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent is a protocol designed for transferring files. It is peer-to-peer in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth. The key philosophy of BitTorrent is that users should upload (transmit outbound) at the same time they are downloading (receiving inbound.) In this manner, network bandwidth is utilized as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed to work better as the number of people interested in a certain file increases, in contrast to other file transfer protocols.

One analogy to describe this process might be to visualize a group of people sitting at a table. Each person at the table can both talk and listen to any other person at the table. These people are each trying to get a complete copy of a book. Person A announces that he has pages 1-10, 23, 42-50, and 75. Persons C, D, and E are each missing some of those pages that A has, and so they coordinate such that A gives them each copies of the pages he has that they are missing. Person B then announces that she has pages 11-22, 31-37, and 63-70. Persons A, D, and E tell B they would like some of her pages, so she gives them copies of the pages that she has. The process continues around the table until everyone has announced what they have (and hence what they are missing.) The people at the table coordinate to swap parts of this book until everyone has everything. There is also another person at the table, who we'll call 'S'. This person has a complete copy of the book, and so doesn't need anything sent to him. He responds with pages that no one else in the group has. At first, when everyone has just arrived, they all must talk to him to get their first set of pages. However, the people are smart enough to not all get the same pages from him. After a short while they all have most of the book amongst themselves, even if no one person has the whole thing. In this manner, this one person can share a book that he has with many other people, without having to give a full copy to everyone that's interested. He can instead give out different parts to different people, and they will be able to share it amongst themselves. This person who we've referred to as 'S' is called a seed in the terminology of BitTorrent. There's more about the various terms in a later section.

Ah, yes. :rolleyes:

Thanks for the explanation there Zandro. ;)

Don't think I'll being using it for a while.

[Zandro]

Oh, but it is not complicated. Just install a program to automatically register the format extension, double-click on the Torrent file, and its contents will be yours in no time. This is a great way to claim a large number of files at a time.

[CyberCat]

Do you know if this "network" monitored by the RIAA and similar groups?

[msher]

bittorrent kills bandwidth tho...has anyone tried ares?

[Zandro]

Do you know if this "network" monitored by the RIAA and similar groups?
I'm sure it isn't, and so far has been recognised by many independent artists as an excellent form of trial promotion for their material, which includes whole music albums and even movies.

bittorrent kills bandwidth tho

The point of BitTorrent is to save the bandwidth costs of internet content hosts by instead spreading it evenly among the peers actually wanting the content.

[CyberCat]

Hmm, thanks for clearing that up Zandro.

I'll be sure to look into getting it sometime.

Any suggestions on where to download it? Or isn't it a program?

[Zandro]

I have an obligation to tell you this, and perhaps I should have told you earlier. There is A LOT of content that is being distributed illegally through BitTorrent, from "now showing" feature films to major musicians' albums vigorously controlled by the music industry. It's not yet attacked as KaZaA had been, but I'm sure some government will be swinging away at the network soon enough. Just keep safe by not touching material that wouldn't be morally distributable otherwise.

Now, to answer your question.

It is a protocol for downloading, and a program is required to interpret it for use. The developer of the protocol has released a program for it. Although, it is not as extensively feature-packed as others that have emerged as freeware, and certainly not as user-friendly. Take your pick if still interested.

[CyberCat]

I read on slashdot the other day that BitTorrent uses about 35% of all internet activity. :wow:

[Zandro]

Slashdot has been a news source I cannot rely on. Much of their content is opinionative and biased, and actually gave Gaim a bad rating. :laugh: I wouldn't go as far as to trust everything they put out.

[CyberCat]

Well it looks like this one's for real, you can read it yourself if you're at all interested in the topic:

Ah, gotcha. That article is from Reuters, whom you and I can trust. Wow. I had no idea it was so consuming of the traffic. Thanks for the link.
