What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent, whose creator Bram Cohen is speaking at SXSW Interactive, is a file distribution system that spreads the load associated with providing large file downloads among many computers. By using BitTorrent to distribute these files, SXSW is able to distribute them efficiently and economically. By using BitTorrent, you help us distribute the file as you download it, as does everyone who's currently downloading it. The more people downloading the file at any given time, the faster everyone will be able to download it, in theory.
