Thanks to BitTorrent, a peer to peer file sharing protocol, distributing large amounts of data across the web is easy. Users can trade music, movies, eBooks, and software in a matter of minutes. This method of file sharing has led to many controversies; however, BitTorrent has weathered the storm and is widely used by people across the globe.

Millions of people are accustomed to using BitTorrent clients in order to share and obtain digital content. Among the latest BitTorrent clients are Vuze, which is the new name for the Azureus BitTorrent client. It has an easy to use interface and you can publish your own content, share files, and even subscribe to RSS.

Another popular BitTorrent tracker is demonoid. This is a private torrent community and is very choosy about the type of members that enroll. Members are held responsible for any leeching that their invited friends may do, and could even lose their membership.

High demand files can be simultaneously downloaded in parts from various locations, which is why movies and television shows get much of the attention. BitTorrent is a great way to get all your open source software too. Linux users have not been left out either.
