Abstract
The peer-to-peer (P2P) network is heavily used for content distribution and is popularly used for internet file sharing. In a peer to peer network the average time to download a given file becomes a key metric for performance measure. The common approach of analyzing the average download time based on average service capacity is fundamentally flawed, and shown that the spatial heterogeneity of service capacities of different source peers and temporal fluctuations in service capacity of a single source peer have significant impact on increasing the average download time in P2P networks. This paper gives a comparative study of various downloading algorithms to effectively remove these negative factors thereby reducing the average download duration of a file.
