# 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.

|
## Personal Video Recorders
|
|
|
|
There are a bunch of applications intended as personal video recorders for
|
|
usenet or BitTorrent usage.
|
|
These include the so called [\*ARR applications](/wiki/*arr.md).
|
|
Usually an indexer application like [Jackett](/wiki/jackett.md) is needed.
|
|
|
|
## 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.
