Blog: P2P


           Wikipedia defines file sharing as distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books.
          Also according to Wikipedia “P2P Sharing is a type of regionalized and circulated network construction in which individual nodes in the network called "peers" act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, in difference to the centralized client–server model where client nodes request access to resources provided by central servers”.
          One of the examples of P2P file sharing is BitTorrent. Which allows people to download large files like, movies or shows at well fast speed. In the article 'The BitTorrent Effect' by Clive Thompson, shows how Bram Cohen, who created BitTorrent, can reach these speeds by using technology to download multiple pieces of a file from multiple uploaders all at once, which speed up the process immensely
