P2P and Me
I just came back from Fry’s Electronics, where I was helping my dad buy some computer stuff for my aunt back in Barbados. Of course, I was coerced to go, and as usual, my advice was neither needed or wanted. So I had time to wander around the programming section of the book department, where I stumbled across a book called “Discovering P2P”; at first I was disappointed– I had expected a guide on the techniques and considerations involved in both programming P2P software and designing P2P networks– but then I stumbled across a concise listing of several P2P networks, the likes of which, despite much searching, I have not been able to find on the Internet. Armed with this knowledge, and as part of my constant search for meaningful content, I have added to my todo list the task of compiling a comprehensive database on all publicly available P2P networks, complete with user comments and all– no one should have to install FreeNet to find out how crappy it is. To that end, I have here a collection of terms to feed to google, which I gleaned from the book in a hasty five minutes. Here goes…
punch webgroups, swaptor, url blaze, file rogue, file pile, gnutella, jungle monkey, konspire, myster, peergenius, porndigger, mojonation, gnucleaus, gnut, n-tella, newtella, phex, toadnode, limewire, hotline connect, bearshare, freenet, edonkey2000, filetopia, bad blue, direct connect …
If anyone has anything to add, please contact me. Thanks and peace out!
