With the widespread availability of broadband connections, the internet is now being used to download more files than ever before. However, when large numbers of people download the same file from a single place it can lead to sluggish downloads or even result in websites crashing under the weight of too many users.

This is where Bittorrent can help. Rather than downloading a file from a single location, such as a company website, users can connect to other people who already have the file and download it in pieces from several locations at once. In this way, even very large files can be downloaded relatively quickly and the use of bandwidth is shared between downloaders. While this may sound complicated, in this Masterclass, we’ll reveal everything you need to know about Bittorrent ­ including how to stay legal.
