BitTorrent Inc.

BitTorrent Inc. is a technology company that developed the BitTorrent protocol, a method for sharing large files efficiently over the internet. Instead of downloading a file from a single server, files are broken into small pieces and distributed among many users, enabling faster and more resilient sharing. This approach reduces server load and improves download speeds. Originally designed for legal file sharing, BitTorrent's technology is used for various purposes, including distributing open-source software, media, and content delivery. The company also offers related products and services to support content distribution and peer-to-peer data sharing.
