P2P

           According to Wikipedia, file sharing is defined as the practice of distributing or providing access to digitally stored information, such as computer programs, multimedia (audio, images and video), documents or electronic books.
          Wikipedia also defines P2P Sharing as a type of decentralized and distributed network architecture in which individual nodes in the network (called "peers") act as both suppliers and consumers of resources, in contrast to the centralized client–server model where client nodes request access to resources provided by central servers.
           An example of P2P file sharing is BitTorrent. It allows people to download movies or shows at great speeds. In the article 'The BitTorrent Effect' by Clive Thompson, it shows how Bram Cohen, who created BitTorrent, can achieve these great speeds by using technology to download multiple pieces of a file from multiple uploaders all at once, speeding up the process tremendously.
