Ari 桑 Posted September 4, 2007 at 07:40 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 at 07:40 AM As in, bit torrent etc. When I search for 急流, I don't seem to get anything related to torrents as we know them. Can anyone help me out? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
zhwj Posted September 4, 2007 at 08:16 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 at 08:16 AM Search on Baidu for bt. Sometimes it's called 变态, but that also means "abnormal" or "freak" so you'll get lots of results you don't want if you use that as a keyword.

littleknight23 Posted September 4, 2007 at 08:23 AM Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 at 08:23 AM As zhwj gives a completedly different reply, I am not sure that we are talking about the same thing Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
skylee Posted September 4, 2007 at 01:24 PM Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 at 01:24 PM "torrent" is 激流 / 山洪, "bit torrent" is not. For "bit torrent", consider "比特流". Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ari 桑 Posted September 4, 2007 at 06:11 PM Author Report Share Posted September 4, 2007 at 06:11 PM 比特流 seems to make sense, and it looks like simply using "bt" gets plenty of results as well, thanks guys! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rootfool Posted September 6, 2007 at 01:55 PM Report Share Posted September 6, 2007 at 01:55 PM I see. Then what is 比特流? Hmm,I had seen the web page that you quote.But all the poeple I know are all using "bt" instead of "比特流".Of course, "bt" means "变态" too,but it's easy for chinese to distinguish it's meaning.When I was a student,my teacher told me "比特流" is "bits stream(?I don't exactly know how to say this word in computerese )". In any case,this is just an personal opinion. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
grayedge Posted September 22, 2007 at 03:45 PM Report Share Posted September 22, 2007 at 03:45 PM I am chinese native speaker. I agree with rootfool, 比特流 is 'mostly means 'bit stream'. in my opinion, there is no exactly corresponding chinese word for 'bit torrent', we just use the acronym 'bt', and we say the .torrent file is 种子文件 of 'bt'. and because 'BT' is also the acronym of 'BianTai'(变态) in Hanyu pinyin, we must distinguish the meaning of 'bt' in accordance with the context, in the sentence '某人很bt'(or '某人是个大bt')，'bt' means abnormal; but in phrases 'bt下载'，'bt种子'(always relate to download from internet), it's means 'bit torrent' Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
