P2P (Peer-to-Peer) software can do the following except:
Ares P2P is the best software as far as I know. We get lots of things in it like movies, songs, softwares and many more just 2-3 MB of file. Limewire can also be a good P2P software. Bearshare, too, but I recommend LimeWire.
Usually referring to software you may have loaded for the purpose of sharing files. Gnutella, emule, bittorrent come to mind.
False
yes
Yes OS X supports P2P protocols and many other common protocols to windows, so there should not be a problem as long as you have compatible software.
False. In P2P network network is only set up once, other computer just have to connect to it.
P2P programs don't have servers, nor do they use a fixed port range. Actually, some p2p programs even encrypt its traffic to avoid monitoring/blocking by signatures. Therefore, to block p2p, you need professional internet filtering products. If you prefer software solution, I will recommend "WFilter Enterprise". http://www.imfirewall.us
The easiest way to get it is from a p2p software such as bittorrent from internet.
They are called Peer to Peer networks, or P2P for short.
nabster Wrong. Audiogalaxy came out 6 months before Napster.
You need to download a P2P client such as bitorrent, bitcomet, vuze and utorrent. These are used to read torrent files and send data between other torrent users and you. You can get the following software at these sites: Bitorrent --> http://www.bittorrent.com/ Vuze --> http://www.vuze.com/app Utorrent --> http://www.utorrent.com/ Bitcomet --> http://www.bitcomet.com/ These are just some of the popular P2P software that are out there right now. Feel free to find others to use.
P2P or Peer-to-Peer transfers mean One Computer uploads a file (the software) directly to the second computer. Resulting in both computers having the same file. The original File and the new file on the second computer are stored on the hard-drives of each computer in what ever directory the users wish.
