The Zudeo client is based on the Azureus 3.0 BitTorrent client and is therefore also open source, published under the GPL license, and runs on systems that can execute Java applications.
According to the nature of the BitTorrent peer-to-peer protocol, when the client is running it not only downloads content but simultaneously also uploads pieces of content to other users.
