BitTorrent (protocol) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

It is a different type of network sharing from the Gnutella network. At least it works a little differently. You can go to a particular site that lists torrents, download that link, then open it with LW. LW will then attempt to download the file from other people sharing the torrent file.

LW is not recognised as a proper torrent program at all torrent sites. LW also has limited torrent tools & settings.
