TYPES OF FILE SHARING




We can find three types of file sharing:

  1. PEER TO PEER NETWORKS : This kind of file sharing allows people to use a software that lets you share files with other people through the network. ( some of them are : Gnutella, Gnutella2 and Enetwork)

  2. BIT TORRENT : It is a global standard for delivering high – quality files over internet. The more popular the viedo or picture or song is , the faster BitTorrent finds it.

    For this we can say that it is usually used for downloading large files , because it is cheap fast and very efficient.


  1. FILE HOSTING SERVICES : Also called online file storage service or online media center is used to host static content , normally large files that are not web pages.They serve many users or single-user storage. Some related services are video sharing , virtual storage and remote backup.
