+[ excerpt from distribution's README.txt ]
+
+BitTorrent is a tool for distributing files. It's extremely easy
+to use - downloads are started by clicking on hyperlinks. Whenever
+more than one person is downloading at once they send pieces of the
+file(s) to each other, thus relieving the central server's bandwidth
+burden. Even with many simultaneous downloads, the upload burden
+on the central server remains quite small, since each new downloader
+introduces new upload capacity.
