# BitTorrent
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|
[BitTorrent](https://www.bittorrent.org) is a communication protocol for
|
||||||
|
peer-to-peer file sharing.
|
||||||
|
In BitTorrent context Leeching describes the process of only downloading a
|
||||||
|
file, seeding describes the download followed by also uploading it.
|
||||||
|
|
||||||
|

Take your local laws into account when downloading torrents.

Some torrents can be copyright infringing and therefor illegal to download.

||||||
|
Only download legal and safe torrents like the
