Overcoming free-riding behavior in peer-to-peer systems (2005, methodology): “For example, the BitTorrent le-distribution system employs a tit-for-tat incentive mechanism to encourage cooperative behavior between a set of nodes performing coordinated exchange of large digital les [ Cohen, 2003 ].”
Do incentives build robustness in bit torrent (2007, methodology): “The observed rate over a longer period is the only accurate estimate, a sentiment shared by Cohen [3].”
A taxonomy of Data Grids for distributed data sharing, management, and processing (2005, methodology): “This would also be helped by application of peer-to-peer techniques such as those found in BitTorrent [151] in which peers simultaneously upload a file to other needy peers while downloading it from a source.”

Permacoin: Repurposing Bitcoin Work for Data Preservation (2014, background): “In contrast to existing peer-to-peer schemes [7, 8], our scheme doesn’t require an identity or reputation system to ensure storage of F , nor does it require that F be a popular download.”
The pynchon gate: a secure method of pseudonymous mail retrieval (2005, methodology): “(This data should be transmitted using a bandwidth-sparing protocol such as BitTorrent [14], so that the collator does not need to send the entire pool to each distributor.)”
Should internet service providers fear peer-assisted content distribution? (2005, background): “Previous work on BitTorrent has focused on measurements [4, 9], theoretical analysis [22], and improvements [27].”
Clustering and sharing incentives in BitTorrent systems (2006, methodology): “sive experiments in a controlled environment. In particular, we focus on the so-calledchoking algorithm for peer selection, which is arguably the driving factor behind the protocol’s high performance [8]. This approach allows us to examine the behavior of BitTorrent systems under a microscope, and e”
Digital ecosystems in the clouds: Towards community cloud computing (2009, background): “Also, P2P protocols such as BitTorrent [98] make the distribution of information over networks much less bandwidth-intensive for content providers, accomplished by using the downloading peers as repeaters of the information they receive.”
Path Selection and Multipath Congestion Control (2007, background): “Most relevant to us is Bittorrent [4], which maintains a number of, typically four, active connections to other peers with an additional path The original version of this paper is entitled “Path Selection and Multipath Congestion Control” and was published in Proceedings of IEEE Infocom 2007, May…”

Modeling and performance analysis of BitTorrent-like peer-to-peer networks (2004, methodology): “The basic idea is that each peer uploads to nu peers from which it has the highest downloading rates (the default value of nu is 4). But since a peer only has partial information of the whole network (i.e., it doesn’t have the upload rate information of all peers), optimistic unchoking [ 8 ] is used”
Stochastic Fluid Theory for P2P Streaming Systems (2007, background): “Bearing strong similarities to BitTorrent [5], pull-driven P2P streaming architectures have the following characteristics: • A video (live or stored) is divided into media chunks of about one second in duration, and the chunks are made available at an origin server.”
