Blog: P2P
File-sharing is the act of distributing, or sharing, digital files that can be Ebooks, pictures, documents, etc. P2P file-sharing is the same as file-sharing, just that it involves the use of P2P technology (such as a network or software). In the article "The BitTorrent Effect" by Clive Thompson, the P2P file-sharing network Kazaa is brought up. The article states, "If two peers try to swap a compressed copy of Meet the Fokkers - say, 700 megs - the recipient will receive at a speedy 1.5 megs a second, but the sender will be uploading at maybe one-tenth of that rate. Thus, one-to-one swapping online is inherently inefficient. It's fine for MP3s but doesn't work for huge files." This is an issue people face with P2P because there are more people downloading than uploading.

Hi Jasmine,
ReplyDeleteI'm very excited to see your post, I'm also a player of MMORPG for now, but a different one from Runescape. Inside that game we also have different festival celebration and players are asked to do various tasks based on what festival we are celebrating in the game. The system designs new costumes whenever there is a new festival coming up, and the environment will also be a little bit different than before. That's why the game gives me a sense of freshness and celebration of events. Since the weather is getting colder, I placed my character on the roof on top of a mountain where temperature is low and snow is heavy, when I was taking this photo my character was shaking indicating he was also cold.
