# 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.
## Clients
There are various clients to use for BitTorrent down- and uploading.
The list below shows clients with an existing entry in this wiki.
- [Transmission](/wiki/transmission.md)
## Legal Situation
This is not a legal advice.
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
[Arch Linux ISO](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/arch-linux.md#iso-medium).
Seeding it can help the community.

# E-books
E-books are digital publications of books.
They can be read with specific hardware - an e-reader - or on a personal
computer.
E-books are usually available in `.epub` or `.pdf` files.
Amazon (`.azw`), Mobi (`.mobi`) and other brands selling e-readers have
proprietary formats.
## Management
The management of e-books can be achieved by using special software suites like
[calibre](/wiki/calibre.md).
## DRM
Proprietary formats may but don't have to feature DRM.
There are some software solutions for handling DRM like the no longer supported
[DeDRM by apprenticeharper](https://github.com/apprenticeharper/DeDRM_tools) or
its supported counterpart [DeDRM by noDRM](https://github.com/noDRM/DeDRM_tools).
Due to legal issues in many places it is recommended to not use these or
similar software.
If the software is to be used by you check your local laws first.

## Settings for Download and Upload
## Leeching/Seeding
Leeching is the process of only downloading a file, Seeding describes the
download followed by alsow uploading it.
When the downloaded torrent should not be seeded the best way is enabling and
setting `Stop seeding at ratio:` to `0` under `Torrents` in the settings.
This will stop the process of seeding once a package is downloaded allowing
other torrents to start downloading.
## Legal Situation
This is not a legal advice.
Take your local laws into account when downloading torrents.
Some torrents can be copyright infringing and therefor illegal to download.
Use Transmission only to download legal and safe torrents like the [Arch Linux ISO](/wiki/linux/arch-linux/arch-linux.md#iso-medium).
