The PLUG East Side Meeting will be held Thursday, August 12th. 

What: PLUG East Side Meeting
When: August 12, 2004 @ 7:00pm
Where: Sequoia Charter School in Mesa
Topic: BitTorrent and the Azureus Client 

Dennis Kibbe will show us the wonders of BitTorrent.   Dennis is our "Distro 
Guy" with Linux Distros on tap for burning at meetings with his notebook 
computer or by mail.
 
He has prepared a presentation on a very useful peer-to-peer technology called 
BitTorrent. It is being used more an more by FS/OSS projects to get their new 
releases out without saturating their bandwidth. It's basic concept is that 
the people downloading the data are also serving the data to others that are 
downloading. This results in faster downloads to the user and less bandwidth 
requirements for the program distributor.
 
Dennis will show us the basics of this program and then show us his favorite 
of many avaialble BitTorrent clients, Azureus. Should be interesting.
