Torrent Clients

The world of peer-to-peer file exchange can enable those with Internet Service providers that limit access to certain sites and download services to receive content without having to experience those limitations. Torrent clients enable these users to receive this content by circumventing sites that their ISPs limit by working together with other users that have this content.
