About
BitTorrent Limited is the company behind the largest decentralized P2P communications protocol for distributing data and large files over the Internet. When the BitTorrent protocol was introduced, it transformed file sharing by enabling simultaneous download and upload between many users, addressing the limitations of centralized servers. The protocol powers a significant percentage of global Internet traffic daily. The company develops products across two brands — BitTorrent and µTorrent — offering popular torrent download clients for Windows, Mac, and Android with over 2 billion downloads. BitTorrent is also expanding into decentralized storage via BitTorrent File System and next-generation live streaming technology, leveraging its global P2P network and blockchain-powered infrastructure as the foundation of Web3.
