As you might know, when you download a file from a browser, it is limited by the speed limit per stream imposed by the download server. Refer to my previous post on using a Download Manager to bypass this limitation: Why you should use Internet Download Manager. But sometimes, using IDM is not an option since the file server is so slow (maybe because of unexpected amount of download requests) that even IDM can’t help you gain full speed. In such case, downloading using BitTorrent client can give you full speed, as the file that you want to download is retrieved in small chunks from hundreds of peers and seeders. ¹

BitTorrent is a very powerful distribution tool for those who share files with several people at once. See how and why Twitter and Facebook, two major technology companies rely on BitTorrent technology to distribute files across their networks – Facebook and Twitter uses BitTorrent and they love it.
