Bittorrent is another free P2P software application. It is especially good for movies and it has attracted a loyal following among those interested in sharing movies and television programs. The offical BitTorrent P2P client will tend to monopolize a network connection and not allow surfing the Internet while files are being downloaded or uploaded.

A freely-available alternative BitTorrent client overcomes this limitation.
With BitTorrent, those who get your file tap into their upload capacity to give the file to others at the same time. Those that provide the most to others get the best treatment in return. This way of networking is ideal for the amounts of data that movies require.
