Filing sharing is sharing files with others such as audio, images,
videos, documents like drobox. If someone has the link they could download or
view the content. The article from wired “The
Bittorrent Effect”, and P2p file sharing the best example would be Bit torrent.
Bit torrent can download large files to the computer, but those files are
usually pirated, copy righted, has virus or worms. P2P is file sharing without a care as long as
it is convenient to everyone, like downloading the newest video game or movie.
Peer 2 peer what that is the file is already on a user’s account, so someone
else downloads the magnet link for the torrent and a Peer to peer app. At that
point it is transferring the files from peer to peer. Other examples of P2p
file sharing are LimeWire, Napster and other torrent apps.
Undoubtedly, P2P is useful for file sharing, however, many torrents applications give computers viruses, so people in reality choose between, risk getting viruses on their computers, also risking their privacy, or watching a free movie, show, music file, etc.
