* Many universities that have [[BOINC]] distributed computing projects have used the BitTorrent functionality of the client-server system to reduce the bandwidth costs of distributing the client-side applications used to process the scientific data. If a BOINC [[distributed computing]] application needs to be updated (or merely sent to a user), it can do so with little impact on the BOINC server.<ref>{{cite book |author=Costa, Fernando |author2=Silva, Luis |author3=Fedak, Gilles |author4=Kelley, Ian |title=2008 IEEE International Symposium on Parallel and Distributed Processing |page=1 |publisher=IEEE |year=2008 |doi=10.1109/IPDPS.2008.4536446 |chapter=Optimizing the data distribution layer of BOINC with Bit ''Torrent'' |isbn=978-1-4244-1693-6 |s2cid=13265537 |df=dmy-all |chapter-url=https://zenodo.org/record/3432525 }}{{Dead link|date=August 2023 |bot=InternetArchiveBot |fix-attempted=yes }}{{registration required}}</ref>
