BT is the abbreviation of BitTorrent, commonly known as BT download, abnormal download.
It was originally an open source multi-point download P2P software, which is very convenient to use, just like a browser plug-in, and is very suitable for newly released popular downloads.
Its main feature is simple: the more people download it, the faster it will be. Unlike HTTP, the more people download, the slower it is. Therefore, it has been widely favored by netizens in recent years.
2. What are seeds and seed files?
Seed is an image metaphor. In a sense, the principle of BT download is like planting a seed in spring and snowballing like a million grains of rice in autumn. So people call the person who sends out the downloaded file a seed. The seed file is an index file, which records the storage location, size, download server address, publisher address and other data of the downloaded file. This seed file is not the software to download, but to download the software, you must download the seed file first. The format of the seed file is *.

BT, full name BitTorrent, is a new download mode developed by foreigners. The traditional download mode is limited by the bandwidth of the server. The more people, the slower the speed. The characteristic of BT is that the more people download the same file at the same time, the higher the average download speed of each person.
In addition, it is a place to pay attention to when using BT. The first is to choose the appropriate download software. There are many common softwares, and here we recommend two: BitSpirit and BT(GreedBT). I feel that these two models are quite good during use. Both of these softwares were downloaded from major software websites. However, because the transmission mode adopted by BT is different from the traditional download mode, users need to use the public network, which means that friends in the intranet will not be able to use it or the speed will be very slow. So can users on the intranet not use it? It is suggested that intranet users use BC(BitComet).
Finally, I would like to remind you that when downloading something published in the form of BT, you should pay attention to whether there are "seeds" and "links". With seed and no connection, you can complete the download task, but the speed may be slow. If there is a connection but no seed, the download task may not be completed.
BT seeds are like this:
BT first divides a file into z parts in the uploader. A downloads the N part randomly on the server side, and B downloads the M part randomly on the server side, so that A's BT will go to B's computer to get the M part downloaded by B, and B's BT will go to A's computer to get the N part downloaded by A according to the situation, which not only reduces the load on the server side, but also accelerates the download speed of users (A and B) and improves the efficiency. For example, if C wants to connect to the server to download, it may be only a few K, but it will be much faster if it goes to A and B's computers. So the more people use it, the more people download it, and the faster everyone will be. This is the advantage of BT. And when you download, you are uploading (someone else took a part of that file from your computer), so you are also contributing while enjoying the download provided by others. At this time, every machine is a seed, so the more people download it, the more seeds there are and the faster it will be!
Simply put, every downloader is a seed, and you are uploading at the same time as downloading. The best seed is downloaded 100%, and such seeds are only uploaded and not loaded. If there is no 100% seed, it may not be completely downloaded.
To use seeds, you must have BT software before you can download it! ~
