Riffle (2016, methodology): “From the pool, each client chose one file to request and one file to share, and each file was divided into 256KB blocks, similar to BitTorrent’s typical block size [42].”

Improving Traffic Locality in BitTorrent via Biased Neighbor Selection (2006, methodology): “In the following discussion, we refer to the BitTorrent network using uniform random neighbor selection as “regular BitTorrent”, and the BitTorrent network using biased neighbor selection as “biased BitTorrent”.”
File Sharing and Copyright (2010, result): “The situation in the social sciences is in marked contrast to the research in computer science in which many studies carefully measure individual file‐sharing activity (e.g., Leibowitz et al. 2002; Gummadi et al. 2003; Liang, Kumar, and Ross 2005; Liang, Kumar, Xi, and Ross 2005; Pouwelse et al. 200”
