 Description: bittorrent proxy for downloading Debian packages
- DebTorrent expands on the BitTorrent protocol and application to work 
- effectively with large, constantly updating collections of files, and 
- therefore enable the efficient peer-to-peer downloading of Debian packages 
- from an APT repository.
+ DebTorrent is a proxy for downloading Debian packages files with APT.
+ It will download any needed packages from other DebTorrent peers in a
+ bittorrent-like manner, and so reduce the strain on the Debian mirrors.
  .
- Features:
-   * Downloads from peers, increasing the available bandwidth to the user
-   * Reduces the bandwidth requirements needed to setup a repository of 
-     packages
-   * Seamlessly integrates with the current APT tool
-   * Automatically falls back to downloading from an HTTP mirror when peers 
-     are not available
+ The DebTorrent client runs as a daemon, automatically started on bootup,
+ and listens for requests from APT for files. Any non-package files are
+ downloaded and served to APT similarly to other proxying software (e.g.
+ apt-proxy, apt-cacher, and approx). The configuration is very simple,
+ and only involves prepending a server and port to your current
+ sources.list files (similar to apt-cacher).
+ .
+ When downloading package files, the DebTorrent client will try to use
+ any other DebTorrent clients it can find to download from. This will
+ use the uploading bandwidth of other peers, while reducing the demand
+ on the Debian mirror network. However, if a package cannot be found
+ on any peers, DebTorrent will fall back to downloading from a mirror
+ to ensure all packages are downloaded.
