Based on a peer-to-peer network architecture, BitTorrent enables users to share and download large files over the Internet. With BitTorrent, users can share files directly with other users instead of uploading and downloading from a central server. BitTorrent is commonly used for downloading large files like movies, music and software applications.
Besides, BitTorrent includes a built-in search engine which allows users to find and download content from within the software. It also supports magnet links to improve the efficiency of sharing and downloading files.
