BitTorrent for Mac OS
BitTorrent is a file-sharing protocol that lets you download content directly from other groups of people. To download, you need to install a BitTorrent client such as BitTorrent or Transmission. Its advantage over plain HTTP is that when multiple downloads of the same file happen concurrently, the downloaders upload to each other, making it possible for the file source to support very large numbers of downloaders with only a modest increase in its load.
