nonBitTorrent
nonBitTorrent is a term used to describe peer-to-peer file sharing methods that do not utilize the BitTorrent protocol. While BitTorrent is a highly popular and efficient protocol for distributing large files, other technologies exist for similar purposes. These alternative methods can vary in their architecture, efficiency, and specific use cases. Some nonBitTorrent methods might involve direct peer-to-peer connections using custom protocols, while others could employ hybrid models or different distributed hashing techniques. The reasons for choosing a nonBitTorrent solution can include factors such as the desire for greater control over the distribution process, specific security requirements, or the need for features not readily available in standard BitTorrent clients. The landscape of peer-to-peer file sharing is diverse, with BitTorrent being one prominent example among many approaches to decentralized data distribution.
