BitTorrent Is Cool

BitTorrent is awesome. I downloaded it, found the url for my Angel episode here, loaded it in BitTorrent, and five hours later I had my episode. The programming approach behind it is just a stunning example of a well-designed solution to a very large problem. A true example of how elegant solutions to massive problems really can be found with enough care and consideration. It's not simple solutions that are effective, it's elegant ones.
