Will's Tips
1. What does the term "P2P" mean?
Peer-to-peer (abbreviated to P2P) refers to a computer network in which each computer in the network can act as a client or server for the other computers in the network, allowing shared access to files and peripherals without the need for a central server. (from Wikipedia)
2. How to choose the best P2P software?
Most of the case I would recommend μTorrent as the best P2P (BT) client. It is very light on system resources, unlike those "leading" clients (BitTorrent and BitComet) which are bulky and buggy. Another highly rated alternative would be Vuze, which is also extremely popular.
