BitTorrent is a technology that enables peer-to-peer file sharing over the internet. It allows users to share large files efficiently by breaking them into smaller pieces, which are distributed across multiple peers. Each participant can download segments from several sources simultaneously, enhancing download speeds and reducing strain on any single server. This decentralized approach promotes collaborative data sharing, making it a popular choice for distributing media files, software, and updates. However, it has also raised concerns regarding copyright infringement and unauthorized sharing of copyrighted material.
