 +
A '''BitTorrent client''' is a program that downloads files using the [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent protocol]].
   
  +
The first client, known as [[BitTorrent (software)|BitTorrent]], was created by [[Bram Cohen]] in the summer of 2002. Most of the other clients are based at least in part on BitTorrent, with more being created and edited at a rapid rate.

A '''BitTorrent client''' is a program that manages torrent downloads and uploads using the [[BitTorrent (protocol)|BitTorrent protocol]].
  
−  
−
The first client, known as [[BitTorrent (software)|BitTorrent]], was created by [[Bram Cohen]] in the summer of 2002. Many subsequent clients have been at least partially based on it. Not all clients were originally built for BitTorrent, having added support for the protocol later on. There have been attempts to package [[malware]] as BitTorrent clients, probably due to the availability of many legitimate clients and users' willingness to try new ones.

A BitTorrent client is a program that downloads files using the BitTorrent protocol.

The first client, known as BitTorrent, was created by Bram Cohen in the summer of 2002. Most of the other clients are based at least in part on BitTorrent, with more being created and edited at a rapid rate.
