Peer-to-Peer Sharing, often abbreviated as P2P sharing, is a method of distributing data directly between users without the need for a central server. In this system, each participant, or peer, can both send and receive files, making it a decentralized way to share information. This approach is commonly used for sharing music, videos, and software.
One of the most well-known applications of P2P sharing is BitTorrent, which allows users to download large files efficiently by breaking them into smaller pieces. Each user contributes to the sharing process, which can lead to faster download speeds and reduced strain on any single server.
