How is it that Blizzard can distribute such large files to the public?
To distribute large files, such as cinematic trailers, Blizzard utilizes the Blizzard Downloader, which is a software utility that will make use of the “upload” capability of your computer to distribute the Program to other individuals who may also be downloading files from Blizzard. Note that this utility is only active when you are downloading files, and that only files associated with the file that you are downloading are uploaded. Blizzard will not upload any other files, or obtain any personal information about you as a result of this activity. The Blizzard Downloader is based upon the BitTorrent open source, which is freely distributable pursuant to the MIT License, as follows: Copyright © 2001-2002 Bram Cohen Permission is hereby granted, free of charge, to any person obtaining a copy of this software and associated documentation files (the “Software”), to deal in the Software without restriction, including without limitation the rights to use, copy, modify, merge, publish, dist
