"An easy-to-use Java BitTorrent client,
with support for 27 languages. Azureus connects to the BitTorrent
network. BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer protocol designed to transfer
files. Users connect directly to send and receive portions of a file,
while a central tracker coordinates the action of all peers and manages
connections without knowledge of the contents of the files being
distributed. With BitTorrent, users upload at the same time they
download, so network bandwidth is managed as efficiently as possible.
BitTorrent is designed to work better than other file-transfer protocols
as the number of people interested in a certain file increases."

"It is peer-to-peer in nature, as
users connect to each other directly to send and receive
portions of the file. However, there is a central server
(called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such
peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not
have any knowledge of the contents of the files being
distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be
supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth. The key
philosophy of BitTorrent is that users should upload
(transmit outbound) at the same time they are downloading
(receiving inbound.) In this manner, network bandwidth is
utilized as efficiently as possible. BitTorrent is designed
to work better as the number of people interested in a
certain file increases."

This is the last version of the
enormously popular file-sharing program. It's creators no
longer support it or update it. It is the very trimmed down
alternative to the original Kazaa client, with no spyware
and many additional must-have features that Kazaa itself
does not have. |

This is cleaned version of Kazaa Media
Desktop. Both programs are very similar, with almost identical features
and appearance. The main difference is that Kazaa Lite has been modified
so that it does not have any of the spyware, adware and advertising
usually included in Kazaa Media Desktop. Along with the removal of all
spyware, adware and advertising, many features have been added to
provide more extensive functionality. |
