BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer program developed by Bram Cohen and BitTorrent, Inc. used for uploading and downloading files via the BitTorrent protocol. BitTorrent was the first client written for the protocol. It is often nicknamed Mainline by developers denoting its official origins. Since version 6.0 the BitTorrent client has been a rebranded version of µTorrent. As a result it is no longer open source and is currently available for Microsoft Windows. Linux users use the previous free-software version 5.x, and the Mac OS X version is much older and features are very limited.
