Do you remember the first time you saw a torrent? It was something like magic. You go old-fashioned and download a file from someone else's computer, or you go high-tech and get it downloaded automatically to your computer through the Internet. But who cares how it works—you did it! And it wasn't expensive! And even if no one else had downloaded your movie yet, that didn't matter because there were plenty of other movies to choose from. So what did you do? You took your newfound power and ran with it—because power is fun! This is the story of Torrents - not just how they work, but why they're popular and what makes them such unique technology. Going back to basics, a torrent is a file that contains information on how to download files from other people's computers. BitTorrent is the name for the software that creates and runs torrents. "Torrent" was intended as a play on words: like water flowing in a torrent or overwhelming flood, and like magnetism or electricity, so too these files could cause uploads and downloads to flow between users' computers in an overwhelming flood. Torrents are often used to download movies using peer-to-peer technology. For example, instead of downloading the file from just one computer (the way that Napster forced users to experience music), movie torrents might be downloaded from one hundred different computers at once. The torrent acts as a kind of guide to lead the downloader's computer through all the peers' computers, downloading small pieces from each. This can profoundly change the way that files are downloaded. Traditional download sites are centralized, meaning that they have one server holding all the content and everyone must connect to this one server to download whatever content they're looking for. Torrents, on the other hand, are decentralized. The content is split up and distributed among the different users who all have parts of the content. So instead of connecting to one central server, you can connect to any of the users who have the parts of the file that they have uploaded. This decentralized network ensures high availability, censorship resistance, and resilience against attacks. The BitTorrent protocol used for uploading and downloading torrents is called BitTorrent peer-to-peer (where "peer" means "a computer") or P2P. Users are also known as peers for being part of a network that shares files between each other, thus creating a peer-to-peer network. As such, BitTorrent is the oldest and most widely used file sharing protocol. There are three different connections in a BitTorrent network:The client is a computer that wants to download a file from the server. It connects to the server and asks it for the files it needs. The client also contains a "torrent," which tells other clients where to find functioning copies of other torrents, which contain parts of the file that they need to download. The server is a computer that has uploaded all or part of many files for download by many clients. cfa1e77820
