Filesharing mal anders.

[Torrentfreak über den Einsatz von BitTorrent bei Twitter:](http://torrentfreak.com/bittorrent-makes-twitters-server-deployment-75-faster-100716/?utm%5Fsource=feedburner&utm%5Fmedium=feed&utm%5Fcampaign=Feed:+Torrentfreak+%28Torrentfreak%29)

> “Using the file-sharing protocol, we launched a side-project called Murder and after a few days (and especially nights) of nervous full-site tinkering, **it turned a 40 minute deploy process into one that lasted just 12 seconds**,” \[Twitter engineer Larry\] Gadea commented.  
>  
> BitTorrent is **75 times faster** when compared to the old server deployment system, reducing deployments across thousands of servers to just a few seconds. With BitTorrent, every server not only downloads the new files, but also becomes a distribution point that helps to spread it to others.

[Torrentfreak über den Einsatz von BitTorrent bei Facebook:](http://torrentfreak.com/facebook-uses-bittorrent-and-they-love-it-100625/)

> With their BitTorrent-powered distribution system Facebook is now **able to send a few hundred MB to tens of thousands of machines in just one minute**. The internal Facebook swarm turns every server into a peer that helps in distributing the new code, which gets it updated as quickly as possible. Without BitTorrent this process could take several hours to complete.

[Auch Universitäten](http://torrentfreak.com/facebook-uses-bittorrent-and-they-love-it-100625/) setzen BitTorrent ein, und sparen dadurch Geld:

> A Dutch university [reported](http://torrentfreak.com/university-uses-utorrent-080306/) that it **retired 20 of the 22 servers** it used to send out updates to workstations, saving not only time but also money.

(Hervorhebungen von mir)

**Filesharing ist die effizienteste Form der Verbreitung von digitalen Inhalten über das Netz.** BitTorrent selbst ist wiederrum aktuell das effizienteste Filesharing-Protokoll. Es ist wenig verwunderlich, dass Web-Unternehmen wie Twitter und Facebook beginnen, diese Distributionsmöglichkeiten auch intern zur Effizienzsteigerung zu nutzen. Und Facebook und Twitter werden nicht die letzten Unternehmen sein.
