BitTorrent BitTorrent is a free P2P (peer-to-peer) sharing tool allowing you to
distribute large software and media files using ports 6881 to 6889.
BitTorrent requires you to search for a file with a searching engine
yourself. It distributes files by corporation and trading, that is, the
client downloads the file in small pieces and share the pieces with other
peers to get other half of the file.
Gaming Online gaming services lets you play multiplayer games on the Internet
via broadband technology. One example is Microsoft’s Xbox Live, which
uses port 3074. As of this writing, your NBG-417N supports Xbox,
Playstation, Battlenet and MSN Game Zone.
