BitTorrent
I love this application! Seriously, but I’m not getting into the details of that lest I get into trouble if you know what I mean.
Anyway, what BitTorrent is, is basically a content distribution protocol written in the Python language by Bram Cohen under open source license. It enables efficient software distribution and peer-to-peer sharing of very large files by enabling users to serve as network redistribution points. Talk about cooperation. What it does is to share bits and pieces of the file among many customers until everyone is happy with a complete download. This makes it possible to share your file with many other people without individualizing downloads. Most of files on torrent are entire movies (without splitting them up into parts) and TV shows.
