A download containing files from multiple collections that can be retrieved at once. Data is available in bulk if the entire dataset can be downloaded easily and efficiently to a user’s own system. Conversely it is non-bulk if one is limited to getting small parts of the dataset, for example, are you restricted to a few elements of the data at a time and therefore require thousands or millions of requests to get the entire dataset.
BitTorrent is a protocol for distributing the bandwidth for transferring very large files between the computers which are participating in the transfer. Rather than downloading a file from a specific source, BitTorrent allows peers to download from each other.

A collection of data so large that it cannot be stored, transmitted or processed by traditional means. The increasing availability of and need to process such datasets (for example, huge collections of weather or other scientific data) has led to the development of specialised computer technologies, architectures and programming languages.
The rate at which data can be transferred between computers. As bandwidth is limited, apps aim to download only the minimum amount of data needed to fulfil a user’s request.

A Creative Commons Licence that lets others remix, adapt, and build upon your work even for commercial purposes, as long as they credit the author and license their new creations under the identical terms. This license is often compared to “copyleft” free and open source software licenses. All new works based on the source will carry the same license, so any derivatives will also allow commercial use.
A Creative Commons Licence that lets others distribute, remix, adapt, and build upon data, even commercially, as long as they credit the source for the original creation. This is the most accommodating of licenses offered. Recommended for maximum dissemination and use of licensed materials.
