BitTorrent

From Wikipedia: "BitTorrent allows many people to download the same file without incurring a great bandwidth cost to any particular person. It does this by having clients download portions of a file from one another, instead of all downloading from a single server."

To use BitTorrent, you'll need a BitTorrent client, and a way to find files to download (hint: use our Quick Search above).
