What You Need to Know about Peer-to-Peer (P2P) Sharing
Published 16th September 2020
A free online safety guide on peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing.
Peer-to-peer (P2P) sharing is the process of transferring digital content, such as electronic books, music, or video clips from one person' computer to another. In a P2P network, each ‘peer’ is an end-user's computer connected to the other ‘peer’ via the internet. Typically, this is done with the help of P2P software programmes (like Napster or BitTorrent) where files are indexed on a central server, making them available for other users to find and download.
In the guide, you'll find tips on avoiding potential risks such as inappropriate content, illegal downloads and malware.
