3. The BitTorrent and BitTorrent DNA Technologies
-
3.1 Downloading and Updates
BitTorrent and BitTorrent DNA download only those files that are both authorized by you for download (specifically or by category or subscription) and in the case of BitTorrent DNA come from partners approved by BitTorrent, Inc., except that BitTorrent and BitTorrent DNA automatically update themselves.
-
3.2 Automatic Uploading
BitTorrent and BitTorrent DNA accelerate downloads by enabling your computer to grab pieces of files from other BitTorrent and BitTorrent DNA users simultaneously. Your use of the Bittorrent and Bittorrent dna software to download files will, in turn, enable other users to download pieces of those files from you, thereby maximizing download speeds for all users. In BitTorrent, only files that you are explicitly downloading or sharing (seeding) will be made available to others. In BitTorrent DNA, only files that you recently downloaded will be made available to others. You consent to other usersí use of your network connection to download portions of such files from you. BitTorrent DNA has been designed to automatically minimize its impact on other applications that share your network connection, whether they reside on your computer or on others. At any time, you may uninstall BitTorrent and/or BitTorrent DNA through the Add/Remove Programs control panel utility. In addition, you can control BitTorrent in multiple ways through its user interface, and you may disable BitTorrent DNA through a DNA control panel utility without affecting any files you have already downloaded.
