uTorrent Ultra Accelerator

µTorrent is the most popular BitTorrent client thanks to its efficiency, user-friendliness and richness in features. It was built with very little CPU, memory and space requirements and delivers all the functionality expected from advanced clients. uTorrent Ultra Accelerator complements very well this downloading program by increasing the the latter’s download speed. The way it does that is by discovering more seeds, or available peer sharing connections, or, in other words, by exploiting your network’s capabilities to the fullest. Functionality/How it works uTorrent Ultra Accelerator has a very intuitive interface: it comes with four buttons whose functions are made to be obvious. The first button is designed to trigger the acceleration, and it will be active by default. The app includes buttons to run your uTorrent, minimize the program to the System Tray or exit it. A panel on the right will display the details of your connection, such as connection type, status, connected time, total sent and received bytes, as well as the time the app had the acceleration mode active. While in minimized mode, there will be a small green button in the System Tray. To open the application’s main interface simply double-click on the green round icon; however, a right-click will prompt a menu that lets you set the program to run at startup and to resume downloads automatically. Furthermore, there are some options that offer pointers related to P2P filesharing, anonymous torrent downloading and more.

µTorrent: Quick Tips & Tricks Small but Big µTorrent packs in most of the features offered by other BitTorrent clients, including: bandwidth prioritization, scheduling, RSS auto-downloading and Mainline DHT (compatible with BitComet). Also µTorrent supports the Protocol Encryption joint specification and peer exchange. The program’s needs are modest: it eats up less than 6MB of memory and the app itself is contained within a single executable less than

    Company V. Napster Case

    Napster is a very popular web site that allowed many users to share music files. The way that Napster shared music files is through peer-to-peer sharing. These files that are called MP3’s (Motion Picture Expert Group 1, Audio Layer 3: an algorithm that compresses digital music files) were shared between registered users anonymously at no cost to the users. The format of MP3’s reduces the files allowing users to quickly and easily share these files. MP3’s can also be copied multiple times without damaging the quality of the file. Napster allows registered users to download a “Music Share” software that will allow peer-to-peer sharing of the MP3 files. There is a large hub that all registered users had access to through the music sharing software where Napster would manage the download process.…

    In the short time that computers and internet have existed in the modern era, the world has seen a complete 360 degree turn and in the various forms of electronic entertainment that people all over the world are now using. In the days before CD’s, DVD’s and the internet, not much was said if a vinyl album (remember these?), VHS cassette (or these?) or an audio cassette was loaned to a friend for their listening / viewing pleasure, but today with the availability of sending an email with three or four megabytes (mb) of information, one can enjoy a borrowed song but is assumed that it is piracy or stealing. Is this a fair assumption? This Author will not give his opinion but rather discuss both sides of the Peer to Peer (P2P) downloading and sharing issues and let the reader form their own opinions.…

    Popcorn time is one of the most popular websites on the internet, but under legal terms, its poplar for all the wrong reasons. Originating out of a college dorm room in Texas, the creators of popcorn time built the website in an effort to help watch movies for free; this includes all the latest movies and later expanded to viewing popular sitcoms as well.

    BitTorrent is a protocol that supports the practice of peer-to-peer file sharing and is used for distributing large amounts of data over the Internet. Peer-to-peer (P2P) networking is a distributed application architecture that partitions tasks or work loads between peers. Emerging collaborative P2P systems are going beyond the era of peers doing similar things while sharing resources, and are looking for diverse peers that can bring in unique resources and capabilities to a virtual community thereby empowering it to engage in greater tasks beyond those that can be accomplished by individual peers, yet that are beneficial to all the peers.…

    The Napster Debate

    <br>The Napster software (http://www.napster.com), launched early in 1999, allows internet users to share and download MP3 files directly from any computer connected to the Napster network. The software is used by downloading a client program from the Napster site and then connecting to the network through this software, which allows sharing (uploading and downloading) of MP3 files between all users connected to the network. While Napster does not condone copyright infringement, there is no opportunity in the software to stop this, or for royalties to be paid to artists whose songs are being duplicated for free.…

    Analysis of the Pirate Bay

    • 1611 Words
    • 5 Pages

    The Internet functions as an intermediary for peers to share any kind of files, like music, movies, and games. However, in order for peers to be able to exchange these files, a torrents platform is needed. There are many platforms available that function as a bridge so that peers can share files with others around the world. These platforms serve as a connection device and not as a piracy store. As a result of the existence of these types of platforms, industries became concerned that this practice is violating the copyrights of the copyright holders. The copyright holders demand that these sites are shut down. However, these sharing platforms state that they are not breaking any copyright law, they are not selling any copyright materials and they are not making any money based on the exchange. An example of such a platform is The Pirate Bay, which has created a controversy around the world between people who support Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file sharing and the industries that make their money selling the content being shared by peers (Laundon and Traver, 2012). The case study "The Pirate Bay: The World’s Most Resilient Copyright Infringer?" analyzes the company and…

    Copyright Infringement

    • 812 Words
    • 3 Pages

    There are many policies that are used to let a person know if they have downloaded something illegally, one of those is the Copyright Alert System (CAS). This lets content producers such as filmmakers and music producers connect to peer-to-peer networks and notify an internet service provider (ISP) of the illegal activity then which ISP then lets the subscriber know of such activity. Now, this system is a little lenient on how people are to go about this notice. The person who is paying for the internet can finally put a password on their Wi-Fi connection, they could also let other people know that they got the notice and tell them not to do it. If the illegal activity keeps up, then the ISP can do pretty much whatever they want with the internet connection, some of the most common actions include: slowing down the speed of their internet or they will redirect you, no matter what website you go to to a site of their own until you call them. Even with policies like this in place, people still pirate content. What we could do is have content creators experiment with releasing their movies simultaneously scheduling both digital and theater release. We could have a dedicated subscription based service for this, much like Spotify but for video.…

    Peer to peer downloading and file sharing is now one of, if not the most popular uses of the internet within today's generation. The downloading and sharing of files takes place in networks such as Limewire, which provide individuals the opportunity and tools to search and download files from each other on a limitless basis. One of the prominent features that have lead to the success and popularity of this medium of obtaining music is the variety of music itself. Because of the extensive number of downloaders and sharers, the variety of music is vaster, giving the user a very eclectic selection of music files to choose from. Another aspect of the sharing and downloading of music over the internet that has made it immensely popular is that it can perceived as a "win-win" situation for both parties involved. Not only do you get to find songs that you never knew of, but have grown to love, but also get to share your own unique taste in music without the loss of those files(hence, the term "sharing"). The simplicity involved in this attainment of music has lead in the virtually exponential increase of file sharing. There are, according to Webnoize, over a billion files being shared on these downloading networks, which is almost double the number of files from two years ago. There is estimated to be more than one billion music downloads in a week alone.…
