    Some clients, like Vuze, μTorrent, and qBittorrent have a "super-seed" mode, where they try to only send out pieces that have never been sent out before, theoretically making the initial propagation of the file much faster. However the super-seeding becomes less effective and may even reduce performance compared to the normal "rarest first ...

    A private tracker is a BitTorrent tracker that restricts use by requiring users to register with the site.

    Mainline DHT is the name given to the Kademlia-based distributed hash table (DHT) used by BitTorrent clients to find peers via the BitTorrent protocol. The idea of using a DHT for distributed tracking in BitTorrent was first implemented [1] [2] in Azureus 2.3.0.0 (now known as Vuze) in May 2005, from which it gained significant popularity.
