P2P file sharing

File sharing is one of the most popular things you could do on your computer and on the internet. This is a process of sharing information from your computer to someone else's computer. An example of files being shared could be pictures, word documents, charts, excel sheets, and videos. They are transferred through the internet by simply just sending it to someone. Another form of file sharing is called P2P file sharing. This also is between different people and their computers where a file is sent from one to another. On TechTerms, P2P file sharing is between two networks that have this program. The website says that it also allows you to search for files on other people's computers who have this network. The article "Content Producers Should Take Advantage of P2P, Not Fear It"  by NMA staff says that people can downloads films through P2P file sharing. This is just one way to use this network. This site also says that this film is released and the people who watch it, take that file and share it with their friends. Along with movies, books can probably be shared. People can send the downloads of their books to other computers. P2P file sharing makes it easy to pass information along on the internet.

  1. Jamel,

    File sharing is something that we do all day long and barely realize how big of a transaction it is. When my parents see file sharing they cant believe how easy it is becuase of how difficuilt things were in the past. I think we learned a lot about it in this class and it was very interesting to learn about..
