An interesting tidbit: the original bittorrent implementation mimicked the download dialog for a browser of that era (back then, each download opened a new dialog box, with its own progress bar). That is, the user experience for a normal download (click on a .mov) and for a bittorrent download (click on a .torrent which downloads a .mov) was almost identical.
