Changing the face of Torrents – New Protocol
The torrent sharing is about to to change the face of files haring. They are about to launch a new protocol μTP or “micro-Transport Protocol” which is a new protocol from BitTorrent, Inc. It is going to be available as the default transport mechanism in both μTorrent v2.0 and BitTorrent v7.0.
Says the post:
“The fact is that our BitTorrent clients have become incredibly popular with users downloading large files over the internet. So much so that some observers claim that BitTorrent traffic accounts for 30%, 50%, or even more of all Internet traffic. Regardless of the actual numbers (which we have no way of knowing), it is clear that the popularity of BitTorrent is putting such a burden on ISP networks that they sometimes react by slowing down or interfering with that traffic.”
