"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." --Dessent.net |

This is cleaned version of Kazaa Media

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. |
