Term Explanation
What is BitTorrent?
BitTorrent (BT) is a peer-to-peer file sharing protocol used for distributing data over the internet. It is one of the
most common protocols for transferring large files. To share a file or group of files, a small file containing the
metadata and the tracker of the original files (called “torrent”) is created. Users can download “torrent” files and
open them with specific software and connect to other users to start file downloads.
What is NZB?
NZB is an XML-based file format for retrieving posts from Usenet servers. The file includes information that your
newsreader can use to start downloading. You need to join a newsgroup before you can start downloading files
on Usenet.
