P2P software can be dangerous because it often facilitates the sharing of files directly between users, which can lead to the distribution of copyrighted material and illegal content. Additionally, these platforms can expose users to malware and viruses, as malicious files can be disguised as legitimate ones. Furthermore, P2P networks may compromise user privacy, as personal information can be unintentionally shared or accessed by others on the network.
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.
Yes, P2P (peer-to-peer) software can spread viruses and spyware. When users download files from unverified sources, they may inadvertently download malicious software hidden within shared files. Additionally, P2P networks can expose users' systems to security vulnerabilities, making them more susceptible to attacks. Therefore, it's essential to use caution and employ security measures when using P2P applications.
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
nabster Wrong. Audiogalaxy came out 6 months before Napster.
They are called Peer to Peer networks, or P2P for short.
The easiest way to get it is from a p2p software such as bittorrent from internet.
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.
