Btdna.exe is the process file for BitTorrent DNA, a peer-to-peer program used for downloading and uploading files through the BitTorrent Protocol (originally called Mainline by its developers). BitTorrent enables the user to search and to download torrent files through a built-in search engine called "Search for torrents" seen in its main window. It opens the torrent search page among the search results shown in the web browser. It offers a wide range of features which includes multiple parallel downloads. The BitTorrent program has several tabular, statistical, and graphical views which allow the users to see the events running in the background, offering information about the peers the user is connected and the amount of data being downloaded and uploaded from both ends. Its automatic recovery system checks all handled data after an abrupt or improper shutdown. It intermediates peering between servers and clients, thus yielding distribution efficiencies. In addition, it enables users in creating and sharing torrent files.
