Homonym: Torrents (Streams)
Torrents are a method of sharing files over the internet using a peer-to-peer (P2P) network. Instead of downloading a file from a single server, users download pieces of the file from multiple sources simultaneously. This can make the process faster and more efficient, especially for large files like movies, software, or games.
To use torrents, individuals typically need a torrent client, which is software that manages the downloading and uploading of files. The files shared through torrents are often accompanied by a torrent file or a magnet link, which contains information about the file and its sources.
