Information Regarding Movie Downloads For the Public:
What is a P2P Network?
A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network is a network that relies primarily on the computing power and bandwidth of the participants in the network rather than concentrating it in a relatively low number of servers. P2P networks are typically used for connecting nodes via largely ad hoc connections. Such networks are useful for many purposes. Sharing content files containing audio, video, data or anything in digital format is very common, and realtime data, such as telephony traffic, is also passed using P2P technology.
A pure peer-to-peer network does not have the notion of clients or servers, but only equal peer nodes that simultaneously function as both "clients" and "servers" to the other nodes on the network. This model of network arrangement differs from the client-server model where communication is usually to and from a central server. A typical example for a non peer-to-peer file transfer is an FTP server where the client and server programs are quite distinct, and the clients initiate the download/uploads and the servers react to and satisfy these requests.
Peer-to-peer architecture embodies one of the key technical concepts of the Internet, described in the first Internet Request for Comments, "RFC 1, Host Software" [1] dated 7 April 1969. More recently, the concept has achieved recognition in the general public in the context of the absence of central indexing servers in architectures used for exchanging multimedia files.
What is "File Sharing"?
File sharing is the practice of making files available for other users to download over the Internet and smaller networks. Usually file sharing follows the peer-to-peer (P2P) model, where the files are stored on and served by personal computers of the users. Most people who engage in file sharing are also downloading files (such as movies, tv-shows, music videos, music albums, games and more) that other users share. Sometimes these two activities are linked together. P2P File sharing is distinct from file trading in that downloading files from a P2P network does not require uploading, although some networks either provide incentives for uploading such as credits or force the sharing of files being currently downloaded.
What are the Advantages of P2P?
An important goal in peer-to-peer networks is that all clients provide resources, including bandwidth, storage space, and computing power. Thus, as nodes arrive and demand on the system increases, the total capacity of the system also increases. This is not true of a client-server architecture with a fixed set of servers, in which adding more clients could mean slower data transfer for all users.
The distributed nature of peer-to-peer networks also increases robustness in case of failures by replicating data over multiple peers, and -- in pure P2P systems -- by enabling peers to find the data without relying on a centralized index server. In the latter case, there is no single point of failure in the system.
What kind of attacks are there on P2P networks? - Why is it important to use a SAFE P2P?
Many peer-to-peer networks are under constant attack by people with a variety of motives.
Examples:
Poisoning attacks (e.g. providing files whose contents are different from the description). Which means you might spend a lot of time downloading a movie and then find out it is a completely different movie...
Polluting attacks (e.g. inserting "bad" chunks/packets into an otherwise valid file on the network).
Defection attacks (users or software that make use of the network without contributing resources to it). Which means your download speed will be lower because of all those freebies...
Insertion of viruses to carried data (e.g. downloaded or carried files may be infected with viruses or other malware). You must watch out from viruses hidden in your movies...
Malware in the peer-to-peer network software itself (e.g. distributed software may contain spyware)
Denial of service attacks (attacks that may make the network run very slowly or break completely)
Filtering (network operators may attempt to prevent peer-to-peer network data from being carried).
Identity attacks (e.g. tracking down the users of the network and harassing or legally attacking them).
Spamming (e.g. sending unsolicited information across the network- not necessarily as a denial of service attack).
Most attacks can be defeated or controlled by careful design of the peer-to-peer network and through the use of encryption. P2P network defense is in fact closely related to the "Byzantine Generals Problem". However, almost any network will fail when the majority of the peers are trying to damage it, and many protocols may be rendered impotent by far fewer numbers.
Data Security
P2P software allows any user to access the files you place or move into your shared folder. If you’re not careful, files containing your personal and confidential information could inadvertently be uploaded for distribution on the Internet. This could cause a number of problems, including identity theft. Click here for information about how to use this P2P software application to minimize data security problems.
Pornography
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software could contain pornographic material. These files may be mislabeled with seemingly innocent names. This can result in users, including children, being inadvertently exposed to pornography. Redistributing files containing child pornography or obscene content can be a crime. Click here for information about how to use this P2P software application to minimize inadvertent exposure to pornography and illegal redistribution.
Spyware
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may contain spywarethat can track your online activity, control your computer, or harm its operation. These files typically are disguised and can go undetected.

Viruses
Files downloaded from the Internet using P2P software may carry computer viruses, worms, or trojans that can damage your computer or cause other problems. These files typically are mislabeled to disguise their true purpose. Click here for information about how to use this P2P software application to minimize computer viruses.
How long does it normally take to download a movie?
Well first off, it depends on the speed of your connection (obviously) - you cannot download faster than your maximum capacity... The other main factor for downloading speed is the popularity of the movie you are downloading, the more popular, the more people will be having the movie file on their computer and sharing it with you on the downloading software, so the more popular - the faster your download is. If you have a very speedy connection and you are downloading a very popular movie, you should be able to download the movie within 1-3 hours.
What are Divx Movies?
Everyone in the Online Movie world is talking about DivX Movies... DivX is a digital video compression format based on the MPEG-4 technology. DivX files can be downloaded over high-speed lines in a relatively short time without sacrificing the quality of the digital video!
For example, if you have a 2 hour Movie that you want to download. You have a regular DVD file which is about 4.7 GB, if you wanted to download it that would take a long time... some times even 3 days or more (of course that if you are using the right p2p software and you are downloading a very popular movie with a great Internet connection it would take less, maybe 10 hours)!
Fortunately, a Codec was developed by a company called DivXNetworks. What DivX does is that it takes that huge DVD file and it compresses it into something 7 to 10 times smaller, and it maintains the high quality of the visuals and the audio on the DivX Movies.
So instead of a download taking 3 days or 72 hours, this process is reduced around 3 to 6 hours depending on your connection speed.If you want to Burn the file onto a Cd and watch it on your DVD, first make sure your DVD-player supports DivX/XviD playback, then all you need to do is Burn it onto a CD or two, depending on the size of the movie. Make sure you keep the copies to yourself and not distribute them illegally or sell them.
