BitTorrent

BitTorrent was founded in 2001 by Bram Cohen, who was intent on solving the problem of efficiently delivering large files over the Internet. The resulting open source, peer-to-peer protocol sparked a revolution in online file distribution. Today, BitTorrent remains a comprehensive platform for the fast and easy delivery of large files, providing users with free software and a Web site designed to enable the distribution, discovery, and consumption of digital content.
