BitTorrent gets a bad rap--at least from the likes of the MPAA and RIAA.
The peer-to-peer technology speeds the file transfer process by letting users with a downloaded torrent (a small file that contains BitTorrent metadata) draw data from multiple sources rather than a single user. This way, even if each individual seeder (uploading source) only offers a trickle of bandwidth, you can acquire large files in a remarkably short time.
