Technical Details

P2PNetworking is a product of Joltid Ltd.

P2PNetworking comes bundled with other software as an installation agent. P2PNetworking remains active on the user's computer after the installation is complete. Software distributors may buy a service from Joltid to have their software distributed with P2PNetworking. That service provides a bandwidth advantage for the distributors and moves the cost to the users with P2PNetworking installed on their machines.

When software is downloaded to an end user's computer, it is downloaded from other P2PNetworking sources. When complete, the download is automatically shared upstream to other computers with P2PNetworking installed. The component remains active and takes bandwidth and CPU time without the users' knowledge.
