BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing large amounts of data. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files, and it has been estimated that it accounts for approximately 27-55% of all Internet traffic.
BitTorrent protocol allows users to distribute large amounts of data without putting the level of strain on their computers that would be needed for standard Internet hosting. A standard host's servers can easily be brought to a halt if extreme levels of simultaneous data flow are reached. The protocol works as an alternative data distribution method that makes even small computers with low bandwidth capable of participating in large data transfers.
It's a community based protocol in which someone uses a bittorrent
client, like uTorrent to download a torrent file. This
torrent file links you to a tracker, which is generally on the same
server that you downloaded the file from.
The tracker links you up with everyone else who is currently seeding
(uploading a full copy) or leeching (downloading and uploading an
incomplete copy) of the file(s) you are trying to get.
It's very stable and fast because while you are downloading, you can
also be uploading parts of the file you have already downloaded. This
greatly increasing the amount of potential traffic.
It's customary to seed or upload a file after you are done to keep the
torrent "healthy". 150-200% upload of the total file is customary before
removing it.
You can also create your own torrent files using the client programs and
uploading it to a site.
