BioTorrents: A File Sharing Service for Scientific Data	2010-04-14		.txt	text/plain	2994	158	51	In this study we present BioTorrents, a website that allows open access sharing of scientific data and uses the popular BitTorrent peer-to-peer file sharing technology. A BitTorrent software client (see Table 1 ) uses the data in the torrent file to contact the tracker and allow transferring of the data between computers containing either full or partial copies of the dataset. Information about each dataset on BioTorrents is supplied on a details page giving a description of the data, number of files, date added, user name of the person who created the dataset, and various other details including a link to the actual torrent file. As the number of datasets and users of BioTorrents increases, and to improve on transfer speeds on a geospatial scale (i.e. across countries and continents), we would encourage other institutions to automatically download and share all or some of the data on BioTorrents.	./cache/cord-352522-qnvgg2e9.txt	./txt/cord-352522-qnvgg2e9.txt
