File sharing networks

File sharing networks are systems that allow users to distribute digital files directly with one another over the internet. Instead of relying on a central server, files are shared directly between computers, often using peer-to-peer technology. This method can make sharing large files faster and more efficient, as each participant both downloads and uploads parts of the files. File sharing networks are used for various purposes, from sharing documents and media to distributing open-source software. However, they also pose legal and security considerations, especially when sharing copyrighted or sensitive content.
