Package: wnpp Version: unavailable; reported 2003-01-14 Severity: wishlist * Package name : bittorrent Version : 3.1 Upstream Author : Bram Cohen <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> * URL : http://bitconjurer.org/BitTorrent * License : MIT Description : scatter-gather network file transfer
BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader introduces new upload capacity. -- System Information: Debian Release: testing/unstable Architecture: i386 Kernel: Linux odo 2.4.19 #1 Thu Oct 3 01:04:44 CDT 2002 i686 Locale: LANG=C, LC_CTYPE=C
