A journaling file system is a file system that logs changes to a journal (usually a circular log in a dedicated area) before committing them to the main file system. Such file systems are less likely to become corrupted in the event of power failure or system crash.
NOTE: Macs can support AFP, CIFS and NFS

8. SMB Vs. AFP
Files copied to ReadyNas over AFP can’t be access form another Mac using SMB. And same thing backwards.
Also if you want to share a share between a pc and a Mac you must use SMB.
For file indexing/searching, AFP is quicker than SMB
For raw data transfer speeds, CIFS is faster
It is best to keep Mac shares separate from Windows shares, due to possible problems with resource forks.

BitTorrent is a peer-to-peer file sharing (P2P) communications protocol.
BitTorrent allows you to download files faster by downloading from multiple sources at once.
BitTorrent is a protocol designed for transferring files. It is peer-to-peer in nature, as users connect to each other directly to send and receive portions of the file. However, there is a central server (called a tracker) which coordinates the action of all such peers. The tracker only manages connections, it does not have any knowledge of the contents of the files being distributed, and therefore a large number of users can be supported with relatively limited tracker bandwidth.
