How does BitTorrent compare to other forms of file transfer?

BitTorrent FAQ and Guide
The most common method by which files are transferred on the Internet is the client-server model. A central server sends the entire file to each client that requests it -- this is how both http and ftp work. The clients only speak to the server, and never to each other. The main advantages of this method are that it's simple to set up, and the files are usually always available since the servers tend to be dedicated to the task of serving, and are always on and connected to the Internet.

Why not BitTorrent?

Internet Archive Frequently Asked Questions
BitTorrent is good and similar to FreeCache in that it balances download "horizontically". BitTorrent uses other BitTorrent clients for this balancing; these clients often become un-available after a particular file is not popular anymore. The FreeCache system utilizes permanent FreeCaches that don't go away (although particular files get flushed out after a while). Unlike BitTorrent, the FreeCache system is transparent to the end-user.

How does BitTorrent work?

RockBox - Genre's
The .torrent files are basically text files with general information about the shared file (size, name, etc) inside of them. The server saves this information about the shared files. Then, a user downloads the torrent and opens it with a client. The client gets the server address from inside the torrent, connects to it and asks who it should connect to get the file. The server responds with a list of 50 random ips from the peer list (or less, depending in how many clients are connected).

If I downloaded 10% of a file off BitTorrent, can I be sued?

Infringement faq - Phoenix Labs Wiki
Is it possible to get sued, because you are downloading and/or seeding that file which is copyrighted. But that is most unlikely going to happen. Most of the time you will get a letter and/or email and that is it. I have checked out the statistics and you have a better chance of winning the lottery than getting sued. But it is not impossible to get sued, just unlikely.

BitTorrent is a method of distributing large amounts of data widely without the original distributor incurring the entire costs of hardware, hosting and bandwidth resources. Instead, when data is distributed using the BitTorrent protocol, recipients each supply data to newer recipients, reducing the cost and burden on any given individual source, providing redundancy against system problems, and reducing dependence upon the original distributor." http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/BitTorrent

DesiTorrents - FAQ: BitTorrent FAQ
It is peer-to-peer (p2p) in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth.
