BitTorrent is a computer program developed by Bram Cohen. It is used for uploading and downloading files and pieces of files via the BitTorrent protocol. BitTorrent was the first client written for the protocol, and it is often nicknamed Mainline by developers denoting its official origins. The program is currently only available for Windows.
The BitTorrent client enables a user to search for and download torrent files, the main window including a Search box, that allows a search term to be entered and which then opens the user's default web browser at the BitTorrent torrents search engine page with the results of the search.
The client enables a range of features including multiple parallel downloads. It also intermediates peering between itself, source file servers ("trackers"), and other clients, thereby yielding great distribution efficiencies. BitTorrent also enables users to create and share torrent files.
