BitTorrent DNA^TM is a service that enables faster, more reliable, more efficient access to rich media content online.

DNA is faster because it delivers downloads to you from multiple, nearby sources in parallel.

DNA is more reliable because it flexibly delivers content to you from a variety of sources. And, when a download or stream becomes very popular, DNA makes sure there is capacity to deliver it.

DNA is more efficient because it delivers downloads from a wide variety of available sources, selecting from among the best, without overloading any.

DNA enables richer content including high-bandwidth movies and games that otherwise would be too large or too expensive for content providers to distribute.

How does DNA work?

DNA uses the BitTorrent protocol to automatically accelerates your favorite web sites and software by downloading in parallel from multiple sources. During and for a short time after each download, your computer helps distribute what you download. In return, you get faster, more reliable downloads and access to richer content. Only files that you recently downloaded will be made available to others.

How do I get DNA on my computer?

DNA is distributed along with BitTorrent’s popular freeware client as well as other popular downloaded applications and content. For example, you may have downloaded a game that uses DNA to obtain game updates. Whenever DNA is bundled with an application, the installation process explains DNA and its operation.

No Spyware or Adware

DNA contains no spyware, adware, or malware of any sort. The DNA client is part of a private secure network that is used only for applications and web sites that you use and is used only by commercial customers of BitTorrent Inc. At any time, you may uninstall DNA or disable it through a control panel setting.

DNA tracks only the downloads that it accelerates. Its external communication is limited to reporting delivery performance data on these downloads. No other activity or content on your computer is monitored.

Courteous

DNA will never slow down your computer or Internet connection. DNA operates in the background without impacting other applications that share your network connection, whether they reside on your computer or on others. You will never notice any degrading of your computer or network performance as a result of DNA.
