BitTorrent is a protocol that allows for distribution and sharing of large files through the Internet. Examples of such files include movies, television shows, music, games, and books. BitTorrent uses multiple sources to upload and download files, which accelerates the process. Although BitTorrent has been linked to piracy, the company that provides the protocol, BitTorrent, Inc., has taken steps to legitimize the protocol.
