Popular and Common P2P File Sharing Programs

Looking for peer-to-peer (P2P) file sharing programs? Most likely you have heard that the P2P program is commonly used to share movie, video, music and other files on P2P network, and would like to use it too.

How it works? Usually when you download file by using this P2P file sharing program, it will download the file from many sources part by part, and at the same time your downloaded files will be shared and downloaded by other users too, and so overall the download process is much quicker and efficient.

This is an example:

There are many P2P file sharing applications available on Internet, but you have to be careful before using this type of software:

- Illegal file sharing or downloading of copyright protected files (movie, music, song, etc) without authorization on P2P network can be a criminal case, so you need to be aware about this.
- Downloaded files might be infected with worm/virus, so remember to scan the downloaded file from P2P network before opening it.

Sometimes antivirus program will also detect these P2P file sharing applications as adware, so you need to put the program into exclusion list in order to use it.
