Computer game launchers and updaters, such as the one used by Blizzard, have used BitTorrent under the hood for years, for large downloads.
- eridius 8y agoThe Blizzard client even used to have a window you could open where it would show the status of all the BitTorrent connections. I think they got rid of that some time ago though.
- scrollaway 8y agoThey stopped using BitTorrent due to issues with home firewalls, antiviruses misdetecting malware, etc.
