The piracy of music and movies is often evident on file-sharing services that use the BitTorrent protocol (BT). The BitTorrent is a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P). Users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. The coordination between the actions of all such peers is made by a central server, called tracker.

They usually use the .torrent protocol readable by bit torrent programs. While torrents are used a lot for piracy it can also be used to download legitimate programs called shareware. A lot using bit torrent and filesharing services because it may be cheaper and faster than having people download the whole file from your website.
