BitTorrent’s motto ‘Give and you shall receive’ says it all. The purpose of BitTorrent is to distribute large media files to private users and it does this in true P2P style: the user does the file serving. To use it you need an internet connection and the BitTorrent software which works by swarming and tracking. Swarming splits large files into smaller pieces and shares them across many linked users. The tracking servers monitor the swarm users and help them find each other. If you share your files you will be allocated increased download speeds, but if you limit your upload sharing you will find your download speed choked.

Bittorrent For Mac Os Catalina
version reviewed: 7.2.2
When peer-to-peer sharing via bittorrent began, there were endless clients that became available to those who wished to share files of various sizes. Over the years, building out a user-friendly, multi-functional torrent client for Mac computers has evolved from ones that simply seed bits of files, to the Java-based platform Vuze.
What is Vuze? Vuze is a one-stop JavaScript-constructed bittorrent client for Macs that not only acts as your gateway to endless files and information; it's also a file converter as well as a playback device. Using P2P file sharing, Vuze downloads pieces of files from dozens of users who seed the complete download you are looking for. Depending on your ISP and what size the said file is, this download might take only a matter of minutes. If you are downloading any media file, Vuze has the ability to convert it and even play the audio or video or read or view the content as soon as it's complete, and with Vuze Plus you can even start playing the content while the content is downloading. That's because all Vuze platforms come with an HD player plug-in. No need to open up QuickTime, DivX, or any other player separately.
