Instead, get BitZip, an excellent freebie that uses the protocol
to download files. It does everything you need, including managing
your downloads, halting and resuming them, and getting
recommendations from others about what files to download. You can
also get a good deal of information about each file before
downloading it, including where you're downloading it from.

Editorial Review of BitZip
Despite what you might have heard, file-sharing isn't dead; it's
alive and well. These days, it's done via the very efficient
BitTorrent protocol. But while the BitTorrent protocol is efficient
and popular, the BitTorrent client leaves much to be desired.
