P2P (Peer – to – Peer) file sharing stands for Peer – to – Peer file sharing, it is basically means by using this Peer to Peer (network protocol ) to share files (audio, images, videos, documents, etc.) for computer users. People get connect with each other easily because it could be implemented through variety ways, for example, users can search for shared files within the network and download directly from other users on the same network.
However, file transfer could be slow or sluggish at times when files are too big or there are many people downloading at the same time. BitTorrent actually solved this problem for computer users. It is a computer program that increases people’s downloading and uploading speed. As Chris Nuttall mentioned in his article: “Valley View: File sharing joins the mainstream” that the major reason for BitTorrent to be the most popular application is it has the ability to breaks up a large file into pieces and spread them around users who download them and upload them to others.
