  • Rarest piece first: sending the rarest piece first to ensure its availability in the swarm
  • Tit-for-tat sharing: what you give is what you get

    • The BitTorrent simulator is a nice graphical representation of how and why BitTorrent works.

    Torrent Raiders is an arcade-style video game and a dynamic network visualization. Driven in real-time by the activity of bit torrent swarms, Torrent Raiders takes place on the ad-hoc networks created by bit torrent users. Torrent Raiders playfully addresses issues of domestic surveillance, amidst the recent revelation of the Bush administration’s illegal wiretapping and the increasingly Orwellian nature of our so-called “homeland security”. Players take on the role of a government agent tasked with surveilling the ad-hoc networks generated by torrents linked to copyrighted material.
