Key Protocols and Clients (Windows and Linux)īitTorrent is one of the most popular and well-known protocols at the moment: Also see P2PHowTo for installation instructions. Good P2P support should be a cornerstone of Ubuntu. With over 377 million downloads on, this is a key reason for many people to use the internet and choose an operating system.
