BitTorrent is a downloading technology that sometimes gets a bad press because it is misused by software pirates. However, it remains an efficient and ingenious method of software distribution that is used by many reputable software publishers, including Sun Microsystems for its OpenOffice suite.

In this Workshop we walk through the process of installing and configuring the necessary software to use BitTorrent, and we then show you how to use this software to download OpenOffice. The same technique can be used to download any program that is available via BitTorrent.

Our step-by-step instructions are here.
