BitTorrent is a protocol that underpins the practice of peer-to-peer file sharing and is used for distributing large amounts of data over the Internet. BitTorrent is one of the most common protocols for transferring large files and it has been estimated that, collectively, peer-to-peer networks have accounted for approximately 43% to 70% of all Internet traffic (depending on geographical location) as of February 2009. Most of this peer-to-peer traffic is likely from BitTorrent.
And this is some word and its meaning.
# 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.)
# 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
This is image how torrent send files.
Secondly, your .torrent file activated, it will connect to the tracker that will dirrect you to swarm (Green Line).
Swarm not always complete complete downloading. That make torrent file sent with some part.
After that, your computer will receive a break file from other computer ( Blue line).
And simultaneously sent break file that you downloaded or received from other Client (Red line).
After you complete download all files, you will sent your files to other clients that still downloading (Red Line).
And if youre seedeing, it will be forever if you dont stop it.
Thats all what i get from some source.
