Abstract

File-sharing networks are distributed systems used to disseminate information among a subset of the nodes of the Internet. The general principle is the following: once a node of the system has retrieved a file it becomes a server for this file. The advantages of this scheme are numerous, and it has been used for some time now in peer-to-peer systems such as BitTorrent or Emule.
