The researchers whose trusted networks rank it highest, strongest advocate first. Every researcher gets a different order.

Clustering and sharing incentives in BitTorrent systems (2006, background): “ld not be able to sustain appropriate upload rates. In a collaborative environment, however, the tracker might even want to return peers based on their advertised upload capacity, as also proposed in [6], in order to speed up cluster creation even more. Although this extension is promising, further ”
Do incentives build robustness in bit torrent (2007, methodology): “The consensus appears to be that “incentives build robustness in BitTorrent” [3, 17, 2, 11].”
Peer-assisted content distribution in Akamai netsession (2013, result): “This is consistent with earlier results for BitTorrent [5,14], which also requires a few tens of peers to achieve good performance.”
P4p: provider portal for applications (2008, methodology): “We follow the simulation methodology used in [3] and implement the native BitTorrent protocol.”
Can internet video-on-demand be profitable? (2007, unknown): “[13] evaluated BitTorrent performance through extensive simulations.”
