P2P File Sharing

File sharing is when one person uploads a file that anyone can then download and use. P2P file sharing, as stated in the article by Chis Nuttal, "It has made possible the downloading of large files of copyrighted material such as movies and music for millions of users. Its popularity is such that it is estimated to be responsible for between 40 and 50 per cent of all internet traffic." An example of P2P file sharing is BitTorrent, uTorrent, Transmission; all of which allow users to download and upload large files.
