P2P...

Ever since I had access to fast Internet I became accustomed to download everything instead of having them on physical media. One particular technology that I love using is, the often associated with pirating, P2P.

Whenever anything gets released now a days, it will probably be a pain in the ass to try and download something if they host the files on the same server or don't use other ways distribute files. Since yesterday I have been trying to download the preview of Windows 10 and it has been slooooooooooow, and it has failed already a few times, so after this problem with the official site I decided to look on a certain torrenting site to see if someone already was sharing the ISO file, and... there it was... I downloaded it from there and there hasn't been any problem.

Some companies like Blizzard have the option to use P2P to download/patch/update their games, normally you can download from their servers, and the speed is fine, but on patch/update day it can get slow unless you enable P2P. Same with Ubuntu, I cant remember the last time I finished a download from their site.

Anyway... great technology, hope more companies try to use it. Let's see what does Windows 10 offers :P
