Notes

  1. ^ a b c Clients that have been seen in the real world to actually work with IPv6, see IPv6 BitTorrent Clients
  2. ^ a b c Reduces disk usage, file fragmentation (in case it is not preallocated) and latencies due to larger written blocks and cached data for hash checking finished pieces.
  3. ^ a b c Automatically configure port forwarding (requires Router with UPnP support)
  4. ^ a b c DHT permits use of trackerless torrents (with supporting clients) to resume normal torrents when their tracker is down. However, some trackers that register their users for keeping tabs on fair usage (such as a ratio of bytes downloaded to uploaded) may not reliably measure and update usage for users employing DHT.
  5. ^ a b c Recently implemented (unofficial) web seeding feature, see HTTP-Based Seeding Specification
  6. ^ a b c Announcements to the tracker are made via IPv6 if possible, but the client doesn't listen on the respective port.
  7. ^ a b Linux version works, Windows version doesn't work with IPv6 due to Java Bug 6230761
  8. ^ Since version 2.5.0.2. It's UDP based, an experimental feature and only supported by other Azureus clients

BitTorrent client - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (164 words)
A BitTorrent client is a computer program that is used to download and upload files via the BitTorrent protocol.
The first client for the BitTorrent protocol was developed by Bram Cohen.
The client also intermediates peering between itself, source file servers ("trackers") and other clients, thereby yielding great distribution efficiencies.
BitTorrent - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia (5271 words)
BitTorrent is a variation of earlier Peer-to-Peer or P2P protocols which allowed groups of computers to share files with one another, instead of having to access a central repository.
BitTorrent 4.0.4 running under Windows XP The method used by BitTorrent to distribute files parallels the one used by the eDonkey2000 network, but nodes in eDonkey's file sharing network usually share and download a much larger number of files, making the bandwidth available to each transfer much smaller.
BitTorrent is also used to distribute updates to the BitTorrent client itself, as well as to other clients such as Azureus and BitComet.
