file sharing

what is the different between BitTorrent and SuperBeam?

[smcewa11]

Torrents let strangers in any location "share" files, Superbeam appears to be a file transfer tool that lets known authenticated devices share with you.

If you want to transfer files between devices you own then superbeam might be good but if you want to get those files in the first place then use torrents.

The quotes about superbeam should explain this:


SuperBeam makes sharing files (and entire folders) between Android devices a breeze. It uses WiFi direct technology or whatever WiFi connection available to transmit data at very high speeds.


With SuperBeam, you do not have to memorize passwords or search for other devices. You can easily pair devices using QR codes, NFC (Near Field Communication) or by entering sharing key.
