what is this p2p programs?
80974
Simply put P2P is a program that connectes with other P2P applications on the Internet and can communicate (upload/download) files from each other.\n\nNapster created the first P2P (Peer to Peer) application and also made it very popular, to the extent that the whole Media Industry got so scared that they got it shutdown.\n\nWhat it does is as soon as you start the application it indexes all the shared files on your computer. And when some one searches for any file that request comes to each computer running the application. The app responds if it has the file on the PC or not. If it is present then the user can download it from that computer to his. And since there can be multiple copies of the same file on different computers, it is actually broken and downloaded from various computers in part.\n\nThere are lot of protocols and applications for the same. Some applications can work with multiple protocols, and others with only one.\n\nShareaza (http://www.shareaza.com) is one Open source that supports multiple protocols (eDonkey, Gnutella). It also supports bit-torrent. \nOthers applications include Kaaza.\n\nThere are other applications of P2P apart from sharing files. One of them is SETI@Home which started in 1999 and used millions of computers to process the data.

Network  Info  Clients\nBitTorrent This is perhaps the weirdest network mankind could have invented in history. You cannot search for a file in it. You have to find a web site, from which you can download a (very little) .torrent file. The program, using this file, will be able to connect to a mini p2p network made especially for that file.\nOdd indeed, but the download rates can be magnificent: even over 100 KB/s. The choice is surprisingly big.\nSee here a list of clients.\nAres (Warez P2P) The network is actually called Ares, but since it only has two clients: Ares and Warez P2P, it is sometimes referred to as Warez P2P as well. It is a little smaller than Gnutella (around 1.000.000 users), but has a very similar efficiency and content. However, unlike Gnutella, it is not open (when you create a program, you can not connect to it for free), and so the choice of clients is very little. \nAres\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nWarez P2P\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neDonkey2000 (ed2k) This is the biggest network that there is. It has about 3.500.000 users. You can find almost anything there.\nBut beware: the queues are enormous. You may have to wait for hours (sometimes, days) before the downloads actually begin. Once they begin, the rates are usually acceptable but never stunning. \neDonkey\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\neMule\nprobably the best Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nvery good;\n+ Gnutella, Gnutella2 & BitTorrent Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nFastTrack This network has become very well-known thanks to its extremely over-advertised client, Kazaa. It is big (almost 3.000.000 users) and full of fake files (an effect of RIAA and MPAA hard work).\nIt is technically very good but the number of fake files is a major overhaul.\nMost FastTrack clients are loaded with adware and spyware. Lite versions recommended. \niMesh\ngood;\n+ Gnutella Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nMammoth\ngood; no ads Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nKazaa\nfull of adware and spyware Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nGnutella Gnutella is a very good network. It is not very big (about 1.300.000 users), but big enough to ensure a good choice. Downloads very often begin immediately, and the rates are good. However, they hardly ever are as good as in BitTorrent. But unlike BT, it is searchable.\nThere is a child of Gnutella's, Gnutella2, which is quite a small network (about 150.000 users).\nGnutella has perhaps the highest number of clients. \nCabos\ngood Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nLimeWire\nvery good Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nPhex\ngood in Windows;\nvery good in Linux Homepage\np2p.info.pl\nShareaza\nOther networks\nThere are very many networks out there but most of them are tiny and unimportant. Below are some other names you could have come across. I did not put them in the table simply because I do not recommend them.\n\nDirectConnect - quite a big network (about 300.000 users), but a user-friendly GUI is yet to come; if you like having much too many windows open at once and being constantly confused as to which information on the screen is important, you can try it.\n\nFurthur - the idea is nice, but its usefulness is minimal; its main goal is to promote unknown musicians; you can give it a try, but the content will most probably disappoint you.\n\nIRC - the grandfather of p2p networking; unfortunately, it is still as comfortable in use as it was when it was born, which is a good couple of eras before the GUI-controlled modern p2p clients.\n\nManolito P2P - this network would be not bad if it only allowed for sharing anything more than music.\n\nSoulSeek - too little; sometimes you can unexpectadly find interesting things there, but in most cases the choice is very little.\n\n\n\nA beginner's guide to P2P., caminoix\n.: Publication date 17-July-2005 :: Reads: 8293 :: Review :: Print current page :: Print all:.\n\n\nGeneral Choosing a client Further reading\n- What is P2P? - Main networks - General links\n- Why use P2P? - Other networks\n- History of P2P - Multinetworking\n- Secur

BitTorrent is the name of a peer-to-peer (P2P) file distribution protocol, and is the name of a free software implementation of that protocol. BitTorrent is designed to distribute large amounts of data widely without incurring the corresponding consumption in costly server and bandwidth resources.  It is one of the most popular P2P protocols designed for high-speed distribution of large files.\n\nBitComet is an adware P2P file-sharing program. It is fully compatible with the BitTorrent protocol. BitComet supports simultaneous downloads, download queuing, selected downloads inside a torrent package, fast-resume, Mainline DHT, protocol encryption, chatting, disk cache, speed limits, port mapping, peer exchange (PEX), UDP NAT traversal, proxy, and IP filtering.\n\nBitComet also provides an embedded Internet Explorer window for the purpose of making torrent searching easier. A default list of torrent index sites is included which users can modify to remove unwanted sites and add missing ones. Script errors are common, however.\n\nDespite the official BitComet site claiming BitComet contains no spyware, critics point out that since it is closed source; thus verifying this claim is difficult.

That sounds like you're unwillingly running a peer-to-peer program on your computer.  Hopefully you're a willing participant in that, otherwise you're computer is not as controlled as you should want.  What you need to do is remove the program from your computer if you aren't useing Limewire or anything like that.  Also, make sure it's not something like a family member or roommate, because sometimes it's really that simple.

These kinds of programs were created as a means to share files from person to person that could otherwise not be transmitted through servers or Internet Service Providers with megabyte limitations.  You are supposed to be using these programs to share things that you own but have evolved quickly into the type of filesharing that most of us are familiar with now a days.  People put up their music, movies, programs, or whatever else they bought legally and share it with those who didn't.  The uploaders then in turn download the stuff others have put up there for free.  This is definitely illegal but difficult to regulate.  Giant corporation can catch you easily (Internet Protocol (IP) tracking) if you download their materials illegally, however it is time consuming and costly for them to do so.  Imagine presses charges on the millions of people who download illegally.  You will most likely be targeted only if you keep large collections of media in your library.  That will put you on their radar and you will become a juicy target to make an example of.  They target large collectors because they are also a large source from which others can download more stuff in sort of a viscious cycle.  Hope that info helps.  Good luck!

If you're on the same router, enable file sharing on the directories you want each computer to share.\n\nIf you're long-distance (not in the same network), then you'll need any P2P program. Soulseek is a great one.

Well, for some things, like music and stuff, yeah it's stealing. But the p2p programs aren't wrong in themselves, they're very useful for distributing legal software and stuff. That said, thinking that it's sort of stealing hasn't really stopped me from getting the music off every computer I can on our network at my college, so I guess maybe I could just be a bad person.

BitTorrent, the tool for transfering files that that mininova.org centers around, is completely legal and legit. I lot of schools, companies, regular people, etc. use at as a great way to share large files.\n\nBut, like any file sharing program, it can be used for pirated programs, media, etc. as much as legit stuff.

I don't know, but I do know that a lot of those P2P music sharing sh**, have viruses in the songs. You download a virus while you are downloading your music. \n\nBe careful

have you tried limewire p2p downloads?

Using p2p to download copyrighted material that you haven't paid for is illegal. However p2p has a plethora of other uses such as legal content distribution or open source distribution. \n\nOne of the best distribution models that exists today is Bittorrent. The bittorrent protocol breaks the file(s) down into smaller fragments, typically a quarter of a megabyte (256 KB) in size. Peers download missing fragments from each other and upload those that they already have to peers that request them. Open source software like Fedora, use Bittorrent to distribute their OS to greatly reduce the load on their servers.

Limewire is the best P2P program. As for "websites", there aren't any good ones that offer good music.

It's a peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing program.\nPeople use Limewire to share files with people from all around the world who use Gnutella network\n\nFrom wikipedia\nLimeWire is a peer-to-peer file sharing client for the Gnutella network. It is free software released under the GNU General Public License. LimeWire was the first file sharing program to support firewall-to-firewall file transfers, a feature introduced in version 4.2, which was released in November 2004.
