BitTorrent (Chinese full name bit stream, BT for short, also called abnormal download) is a multi-point download P2P software. Unlike FTP, which has only one sending source, BT has multiple sending points. When you are downloading, you are also uploading, so that everyone is in a state of synchronous transmission.
How does BT work?
BT first divides a file into multiple parts at the uploader's end. Client a randomly downloads part n on the server, and client b randomly downloads part m on the server.
In this way, A's BT will go to B's computer to get B's downloaded M part, and B's BT will go to A's computer to get A's downloaded N part.
2. Will 2.BT download be faster than http and FTP?
In principle, BT's advanced download mode reduces the load of the server and speeds up the download of the client. So the more people download BT, the faster it will be. The download speed of traditional servers depends on your bandwidth and the bandwidth allocated to you by the server.
3. What is a seed?

4. How to download?

5. After installing the software, what is the next step?
After installing the software, we need to go to some websites that provide BT seeds.
[2], http download
There are many websites on the Internet, where you can download all kinds of useful tools. When downloading files on these websites, do you feel at a loss because you need to choose "HTTP download" and "FTP download"? What's the difference between them?
When using a web browser, the difference between these two protocols will hardly affect the convenience of use and download time. However, they have different structures.
HTTP is a protocol designed to send the contents of Web servers located around the world to unspecified majority of users. In other words, HTTP can be regarded as a protocol, which aims to "distribute" files to an unspecified majority of users.
HTTP is used to read web page content from the server. The web browser downloads HTML files and image files from the web server and temporarily stores them in the hard disk and memory of the personal computer for display.
When downloading software and other content using HTTP, the only difference is whether to save it in the way of web browser display. The structure is exactly the same. Therefore, anyone can download the file as long as it is specified.
