Earlier in my previous post, i have talked about local peer-to-peer connection and transferring of files directly rather than going through the internet. At that point i talked about skype. So i thought of some idea why not to share files as torrent files created and anyone on local network who wants that file can simply add that torrent and due to local peer connection, the transfer will take at a much faster rate and if a file is of say 30 MB, then it would be copied in a minute in a general scenario if we are having a LAN of 100 MBps.
So i created a torrent of a file and tried to download it from some othe PC on the LAN, but to my surprise, it went the other way. I got connected on LAN but the transfer rate was still very slow as in case of normal download from web.
Here is the pic of the server... you can clearly see the name of my machine trying to download the torrent. So name resolution has taken place... and i am connected locally...
The picture below is the picture of the client machine on which i was trying to download the stuff.. You can easily see the Server's IP 190.168.7. 45 . Also the transfer rate taking place....
Of all this trouble, i found out one interesting thing......
Once you are connected locally, then even if your internet goes off, the download still does not stops till you are connected locally with each other.
Here in my Hostel, many students are trying to download the same reality show and this sometimes makes them connected to each other locally as one of the peers and so transfer among them takes place.....
At end, thanks for your pacience for reading my post.... :)
