BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used to distribute large amounts of data. A user can obtain multiple files simultaneously without any considerable loss of the transfer rate .
BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and is
the name of a free software implementation of that protocol. The protocol was originally designed and created by programmer Bram Cohen, and is now maintained by BitTorrent Inc. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources. Cache Logic suggests that BitTorrent traffic accounts for 55% of all traffic on the Internet, while other sources are skeptical. The original BitTorrent client was written in Python. Its source code, as of version has been released under the BitTorrent Open Source License, which is a modified version of the Jabber Open Source License. There are numerous compatible clients, written in a variety of programming languages, and running on a variety of computing platforms.

Adaptive Sliding Piece Selection Window for BitTorrent SystemsWaqas Tariq
Peer to peer BitTorrent (P2P BT) systems are used for video-on-Demand (VoD) services. Scalability problem could face this system and would cause media servers not to be able to respond to the users’ requests on time. Current sliding window methods face problems like waiting for the window pieces to be totally downloaded before sliding to the next pieces and determining the window size that affects the video streaming performance. In this paper, a modification is developed for BT systems to select video files based on sliding window method. Developed system proposes using two sliding windows, High and Low, running simultaneously. Each window collects video pieces based on the user available bandwidth, video bit rate and a parameter that determines media player buffered seconds. System performance is measured and evaluated against other piece selection sliding window methods. Results show that our method outperforms the benchmarked sliding window methods
My bachelor's thesis at ETH Zurich

CONCLUSION
3. WHAT ACTUALLY BITTORRENT IS?
BitTorrent is a protocol that enables fast
downloading of large files using minimum Internet
bandwidth. It costs nothing to use and includes no
spyware or pop-up advertising.
Unlike other download methods, BitTorrent
maximizes transfer speed by gathering pieces of the
file you want and downloading these pieces
simultaneously from people who already have them.
This process makes popular and very large files,
such as videos and television programs, download
much faster than is possible with other protocols.
4. Language Of Bit Torrent
Like most Internet phenomena, Bit Torrent
has its own jargon. Some of the more
common terms related to BitTorrent
include:
Leeches - People who download files but do not
share files on their own computer with others
Seed or seeder - A computer with a complete
copy of a BitTorrent file (At least one seed computer is
necessary for a BitTorrent download to operate.)
5. Swarm - A group of computers simultaneously
sending (uploading) or receiving (downloading)
the same file.
.torrent - A pointer file that directs your
computer to the file you want to download.
Tracker - A server that manages the BitTorrent
file-transfer process.
Language Of Bit Torrent….
11. Traditional Client-Server
Downloading
To understand how BitTorrent works and why it is different from
other file-serving methods, let's examine what happens when you
download a file from a Web site. It works something like this:
You open a webpage and click a link to download a file to your
computer.
The Web browser software on your computer (the client) tells the
server(a central computer that holds the Web page and the file you
want to download) to transfer a copy of the file to your computer.
The transfer is handled by a protocol (a set of rules), such as FTP
(File Transfer Protocol) or HTTP (HyperText Transfer Protocol).
13. Peer-to-peer File Sharing
Peer-to-peer file sharing is different from traditional file
downloading. In peer-to-peer sharing, you use a software
program (rather than your Web browser) to locate
computers that have the file you want. Because these are
ordinary computers like yours, as opposed to servers, they
are called peers. The process works like this:
You run peer-to-peer file-sharing software (for example, a
Gnutella program) on your computer and send out a
request for the file you want to download.
To locate the file, the software queries other computers
that are connected to the Internet and running the file-
sharing software.
When the software finds a computer that has the file you
want on its hard drive, the download begins.
14. Peer-to-peer File Sharing
Others using the file-sharing software can obtain files
they want from your computer's hard drive.
The file-transfer load is distributed between the
computers exchanging files, but file searches and
transfers from your computer to others can cause
bottlenecks.
Some people download files and immediately disconnect
without allowing others to obtain files from their
system, which is called leeching. This limits the number
of computers the software can search for the
16. What BitTorrent Does
Unlike some other peer-to-peer downloading methods,
Bit Torrent is a protocol that offloads some of the file
tracking work to a central server (called a tracker).
Another difference is that it uses a principal called tit-
for-tat. This means that in order to receive files, you
have to give them. This solves the problem of leeching –
one of developer Bram Cohen's primary goals. With
Bit Torrent, the more files you share with others, the
faster your downloads are.
Finally, to make better use of available Internet bandwidth
(the pipeline for data transmission), BitTorrent downloads
different pieces of the file you want simultaneously from
multiple computers.
18. Complete Working Of BitTorrent
You open a Web page and click on a link for the file you
want.
Bit Torrent client software communicates with a tracker
to find other computers running BitTorrent that have the
complete file (seed computers) and those with a portion
of the file (peers that are usually in the process of
downloading the file).
The tracker identifies the swarm, which is the connected
computers that have all of or a portion of the file and are
in the process of sending or receiving it.
The tracker helps the client software trade pieces of the
file you want with other computers in the swarm. Your
computer receives multiple pieces of the file
simultaneously.
19. Working Of BitTorrent(cont.)
If you continue to run the Bit Torrent client software
after your download is complete, others can receive
.torrent files from your computer; your future download
rates improve because you are ranked higher in the "tit-
for-tat" system.
Downloading pieces of the file at the same time helps
solve a common problem with other peer-to-peer
download methods: Peers upload at a much slower rate
than they download. By downloading multiple pieces at
the same time, the overall speed is greatly improved. The
more computers involved in the swarm, the faster the file
transfer occurs because there are more sources of each
piece of the file. For this reason, Bit Torrent is especially
useful for large, popular files.
20. Installing And Configuring Bit
Torrent
To use BitTorrent for file downloads, you need to install
the BitTorrent client software. You may also need to
tweak your firewall and network router (if you use these)
to accept BitTorrent files. We'll give you all the details to
get started. But first, here's a synopsis of the steps:
Download and install the BitTorrent client software.
Check and configure firewall and/or router for
BitTorrent (if applicable).
Find files to download.
Download and open the .torrent pointer file.
Let BitTorrent give and receive pieces of the file.
Stay connected after the download completes to share
your .torrent files with others.
21. Download the BitTorrent Client
Software
BitTorrent is open-source software, which means the
program is available to you and to software developers
for free. Therefore, some developers have created their
own versions of BitTorrent software, and you can choose
from a number of client programs. (Note: This article
assumes you are using the official version.
To start off, go to BitTorrent.com and click the link for
the client software that matches your operating system.
After you download the client software, double-click on
the desktop icon to install it. The installation program is
quick, and it displays this window when it is complete:
You'll also see Bram Cohen's Web page, where you can
send donations to support development of BitTorrent.
Mr. Cohen develops and distributes BitTorrent as open-
source software at no cost to users or other developers.
22. Conclusion
So we have studied all details regarding Bit
Torrent protocol, client and softwares.
Torrents have become the best method of
Downloading large files like complete movies
and games.
But the problem is that all the illegal stuffs
like unlicensed movies softwares games etc
so piracy is increased and this is the only
Problems.
