# BitTorrent

[BitTorrent](https://www.bittorrent.org/) is a communication protocol for peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P), which enables users to distribute data and electronic files over the Internet in a decentralized manner.

Users on the BitTorrent Network are not anonymous, because everyones IP address is known. To torrent anonymously one can use the [I2P](I2P.md) Network with i2psnark. |
