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 movies and music that the average BitTorrent user downloads, 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 laborious task, which can take a lot of time.

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

Facebook is not the only large web proc 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 has the code name "Murder" (killer). The code is free and the free license "Apache License" is used. In addition to social networks, BitTorrent is used by several universities.

It seems that BitTorrent is becoming a common method of updating machines in large networks, as it is efficient and fast. Perhaps others will follow Facebook and Twitter.

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

UPDATE: I remembered my long-time translation, also on the subject of excessive conservatism of the film industry. Piracy does not kill the film industry, but greed ...
