ProxyShare: Fast P2P over servers

Each Filesharer knows the problem: Despite having a 6Mbit line, downloading and getting your files out of Emule or Limewire can be difficult as the uploader simply might not have the bandwidth. Worst yet is that you completed 99.9% of the file and that 100kb is being elusive. P2P can be a bitch!

ProxyShare is a bit more interesting! What it does is rather straight forward. It uses the “Cache Servers” of you ISP to store the files. ProxyShare cuts the file you are uploading and leaves these chunks of data on the ISP server. The next person looking to download that chunk from you, will not download it from you but from the cache server of your ISP. This would be at fullspeed! This would be the reverse of what True Move was doing in Thailand, where they too cached chunks of data from the P2P networks.

A peer-to-peer (or P2P) computer network 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 (see file sharing) 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.
