In a surpising move, FOX has partnered with Bittorrent to bring episodes of genre favorites such as 'Buffy: The Vampire Slayer,' and 'Firefly' to computer screens everywhere. On the official BitTorrent site, FOX TV Classics have become available for download at the same $1.99 per episode price as competitor Apple's iTunes Store. For sale are episodes of Buffy, Firefly, and The Pretender, to name a few.

BitTorrent is the hottest downloading program out there right now. Unlike older downloading mechanisms like Kazaa or Napster, BitTorrent enables the download of different parts of a file at a time by various users, who then download from each other at the same time. The technology has been used to facilitate illegal downloads of music, movies and television for a few years. With the official BT site partnering with giants like FOX and Warner Bros., the road that was paved with illegal files is now open for legal sharing of all types.
