Facebook started using BitTorrent

    BitTorrent is an ideal way to transfer a lot of information to thousands of recipients in a short time. This applies not only to films and music downloaded by the average BitTorrent user, companies can also use this technology for their own benefit! With BitTorrent, Facebook will be able to transfer hundreds of megabytes of new code to all servers around the world in a minute, instead of a few hours.

    Large web projects need thousands of servers to cope with the activity of millions of users. Upgrading all servers is a rather time-consuming task that can be very time consuming.

    Tom Cook: “BitTorrent is gorgeous, it’s truly great. This technology has made life a lot easier for us. "

    Facebook is not the only major web proxy that uses BitTorrent to update its servers. Earlier this year, Twitter reported that they also use this technology. Their own variation is based on BitTornado and is codenamed “Murder” (killer). The code is free and the free Apache License is used. In addition to social networks, several universities use BitTorrent.

    It seems that BitTorrent is becoming a common method for updating machines on large networks, as it is efficient and fast. Perhaps Facebook and Twitter will reach out to others.

    Despite all the advantages of the technology, films in movie theaters are still delivered on solid media. It is slow and expensive. Maybe movie theaters should start using BitTorrent and stop complaining about it? (smile)
