How does p2p work then?
Is this different to Kazaar?
How unsafe might it be?
Can anyone recommend a good free firewall?
Unless you own the copyright of 'the files you're sharing', then just don't do it.
p-2-p is having access to peoples hard drives rather than files being uploaded and downloaded by a central server.
I always found it strange that @ntfs we don't mention, warez, cracks, files nor serials, but file sharing goes uncensored!
Well your own firewall has to allow in and outgoing communications with p-2-p sharing anyway.
We all use different firewalls, I use zone alarm pro with web filtering. I have used 4 and find it the easiest and when checking @grc.com the best for my protection.
