P2P-Enabling Open Information Sharing


Well the latest buzz word in the internet world....

So what this P2P is all about?...P2P the full form is ---Peer to Peer. This is a kind of network where the computers or rather called as nodes are connected with each other via a server. In this type of network computers can share all kinds of resources with each other. With this help of this technology various computers can share many types of files irrespective of their geographical distances.

This technology P2P is being used by various vendors to help internet users connect to each other to share songs, videos,programs and other stuffs. This is currently the buzz word of the internet world.An internet user can search for various songs r videos r data which he wants to obtain and the P2P program searches all the nodes(computers) which are alive(online) at that point of time. The user can select the files which he wants to download and get it on his computer within seconds, depending on the speed of his internet connection.

For example, if a person in India wants a particular song of BRYAN ADAMS he can search using any of the softwares and he can download the song from an online computer which is in Alaska even. Isn't that great....yup it is!!!! and absolutely free of cost......

There are many such softwares which provides such sharing examples are : LIMEWIRE, MORPHEUS,EDONKEY....you can download these softwares from www.download.com .....just serach for this softwares on www.download.com......

WORD OF CAUTION::: It sounds really interesting to download your desired programs at free of cost right but its not as safe as it sounds for a novice user of computer....but i am letting you know a few tricks that will helpyou to download these safely....

1)when you are using these softwares make a seperate folder(preferably on desktop) for only sharing with these particular programs.....

2)Don't share any of your important documents or any personal files(like pictures etc) as they can be misused.....

3)While using these programs only keep the meant folder in sharing mode and don't keep nethin under sharing mode.....

Just remember these few things and happy sharing....
