New Tool Promises to Passively Identify BitTorrent Files

The entertainment is very pleased with reports of developments of software that can apparently detect illegal transferring of files over the Internet. This technology can detect the downloading of files using the peer-to-peer method of downloading movies, music and other forms of electronic media by using BitTorrent. The creators said that this technique can detect the downloading without creating an interruption in the flow of data and can monitor the networks. The technique basically provides the authorities with hard proof of such transfers without changing the status of any data transfers. There is no change in the flow of data either outward or inward.
