linux.com — The BitTorrent protocol implements a hybrid client/server and P2P file transfer mechanism. BitTorrent efficiently distributes large amounts of static data, such as installation ISO images. It can replace protocols such as anonymous FTP, where client authentication is not required.

I love it how there is a Microsoft advert on there saying how much better M$ servers are than Linux...

"Pretty soon I betcha Firefox will be released for Linux as well."I'm using Firefox on Linux, it's also being ported to Mac, in fact it's conceived as a cross-platform browser.There's also bittorrent for Linux (I recomend Azureus).

At first I couldn't believe the title either, but it's an article about bittorrent on Linux... not an announcement.It's actually an excerpt from a Mark Sobell book, and is probalby a good article. The title is definitely misleading, though. ;-)
