        Oh, I almost forgot to mention.. BitTorrent requires that everyone
who is downloading pieces of the file, also become "uploaders", sending
pieces of the file parts they already have, back to other users who are
requesting those pieces. It is truly a cooperative, community-driven file
distribution system. It works well, and promotes equal sharing of the time
and bandwidth provided.
