From a distributor's point of view, bittorrent can greatly reduce distribution costs, ensure that distribution is not disrupted and that the content is not altered or damaged. If you use traditional distribution (people download from a server), the more people downloading, the slower the download speeds for those people (or the server crashes). Since bittorrent uses the upload bandwidth of those downloading (and those that have already downloading), the bandwidth available increases as more people download. Also, content can get damaged in transfer (or at the root of the site) in traditional transfers. Bittorrent rejects any damaged or altered content and only transfers the content originally associated with the torrent. From an end users point of view, bittorrent generally provides better speed (particularly for larger downloads) and ensures that the content will not be damaged or altered.
