Love it, use it forever, Im not sure about the year but I think I had it even on Win XP😂 Its wonderfull way to share data between peers,I still use it daily. One of the first programs I install on all PCs🙌

From Punch Cards to Peer-to-Peer Power: BitTorrent’s Data Revolution

In the 1950s, 5 MB of data = 62,000 punch cards. Processing it meant warehouses, staff, and hours of painstaking work. Access was limited, mistakes costly, duplication slow.

Fast forward: a single photo can exceed that 5 MB. Storage isn’t the bottleneck anymore—distribution is.

BitTorrent flipped the script:
• Users download pieces from many peers simultaneously.
• Every user also distributes data.
• Popular files get faster and more resilient.

Impact Today:
1️⃣ Software Distribution – Linux, games, updates.
2️⃣ Science – Genomics, climate, astronomy datasets.
3️⃣ Internet Resilience – No single point of failure.
4️⃣ Equal Access – Resources reach bandwidth-limited regions.

From scarcity to cooperation, BitTorrent turns global data flow into a collective effort. Storage is shared, bandwidth is pooled, responsibility is distributed.

The punch-card era = limits. BitTorrent = abundance.
