BitTorrent is a P2P technology, but isn't a P2P network. It isn't like "Oh, I'm bored, I use BitTorrent". It is just a file distribution technology. Example: Messenger Plus! is available as a http download. It could be offered also or only as a BitTorrent download. There would then be a torrent file to download over http, which would then connect to Messenger Plus!'s tracker and fid peers for you to download from.
It can be applied anywhere to distribute files, whereas P2P networks such as Gnutella are a massive amount of Gnutella users, all connected together, and sharing their own files. BitTorrent users (if they can be called that), find peers of the torrent that they are using via the tracker, and connect to peers for the data transfer.
My favourite BitTorrent client is
G3 Torrent, but I have only tried a few.
