= &= nbsp; A peer-to-peer = (or "P2P") computer network exploits diverse connectivity b= etween participants in a network and the cumulative bandwidth of network participants rather than co= nventional centralized resources where a relatively low number of servers provide the core value to a service or= application. Peer-to-peer networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections.= Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files (see file sharing) containing audio, video, data = or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P tech= nology. &= nbsp; A pure peer-to-= peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal= peer nodes that simultaneously function as both &= quot;clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the networ= k. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is us= ually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-pee= r file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server pro= grams are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download/uploads and= the servers react to and satisfy these requests. &= nbsp; The earliest pe= er-to-peer network in widespread use was the Usenet= news server system, in which peers communicated wi= th one another to propagate Usenet news articles over the entire Usenet networ= k. Particularly in the earlier days of Usenet, UUCP= was used to extend even beyond the Internet. However, the news server system also = acted in a client-server form when individual users accessed a local news s= erver to read and post articles. The same consideration applies to SMTP= email in the sense that the core email relaying network of Mail transfer agents is a peer-to= -peer network while the periphery of Mail user agents and their direct connections is= client server. &= nbsp; Some networks a= nd channels such as Napster, OpenNAP and IRC server channels use a client-server structure f= or some tasks (e.g. searching) and a peer-to-peer structure for others. Net= works such as Gnutella or Freenet use a peer-to-peer structure for all p= urposes, and are sometimes referred to as true peer-to-peer networks, altho= ugh Gnutella is greatly facilitated by directory servers that inform peers = of the network addresses of other peers.

What can= you do with p2p? |
|
&nbs= p; With p2p people can share file like = movies, music, music videos, software and more. Most people that expend a l= ot of time on their computer they use p2p. I think that file sharing is goo= d when people are not selling what they record to make money. If some recor= d a movie or music to burn it on a CD or DVD for them self I think is good.=
&nbs= p; When people download music from prog= rams that are make for file sharing they only record the songs they like. N= ot everybody like all the songs in a CD, when the use p2p they can pick the= songs they like and burn it on a CD. They can also make mix music download= different types of music and burn it on a CD.
&nbs= p; Selling copies of movies is illegal,= but if you record it for your self and only watch it in your house is not = illegal. Most people like to buy there DVD from the store because they have= better quality and they come with extra scenes and delete scenes. I don't = care much about the extra scenes, delete scene or the quality. To burn a mo= vie on a DVD you only need a computer with dual layer and blank DVD’s= . the quality is not the same as a original DVD but it look good.
&nbs= p; Selling copies of software is also i= llegal but if record it for your self because you need it for your school o= r work I think is not illegal. I don't see why some software are so expenci= es if you only going to use the CD to install it ones. But most peopl= e prefer to buy there software on a store instead of recording them.
&nbs= p; Programs like Ares, limewire, imesh,= utorrent and kazaa can be use to download music, movies, music videos, sof= tware and more. Ares is good to download software, music, movies and music = videos. Limewire is better in downloading music. Utorrent is good for downl= oading music and completed season of television shows. Kazaa and imesh are = not getting use much because the are not so fast and don't have a lot of th= ings that u can download. |

Risk |
|
&= nbsp; &= nbsp; Some file shari= ng software comes bundled with malware such as spyware or adware= . Sometimes this malware remains installed on the system even if the origin= al file sharing software is removed, and can be very difficult to eliminate= . In many cases such malware can interfere with the correct operation of web browsers, anti-virus software, anti-spywar= e and software firewalls, and can cau= se degraded performance on affected systems. Such malware is typically bund= led with proprietary software, and not tho= se in open source. In most cases it is possible to easil= y remove adware and spyware by running spyware removal programs. Su= ch programs can often remove malware without influencing the functionality = of the file sharing software. &nbs= p; Some are also concerned about the us= e of file sharing systems to distribute child pornography, inflammatory literature, and illegal or unpopular mater= ial. Novice users may find it difficult to obtain information on which netw= orks are "safe" for them to use. However, experienced users know = that there is only one way to get in contact with such material: You have t= o actively search for it. Therefore they recommend not to search for illega= l material. |
