BitTorrent built in the other half of trading you probably learned as a kid: tit-for-tat. That is, if you give me one piece, I'll give you one piece back. BitTorrent will give you a few pieces of the file for free to help you get started, but after that you need to start giving some pieces back if you want to keep downloading. If you don't share, eventually everyone else will stop talking to you. Just like when you were a kid with your toys on the playground. In fact, BitTorrent goes one step futher and actually starts to favor the people who share the most. This means that the more you upload, the faster you'll download. -- Posted by Gie to <a href="http://btqueue.blogspot.com/2005/01/tweaking-your-system-to-get-most-out.html">btqueue</a> at 1/19/2005 10:38:58 AM</body></html>
