  • Abstract
    BitTorrent has gained popularity as a file sharing environment. The concept of sharing assumes that every peer in the environment contributes. However, the action of not sharing negates the fundamental concepts of BitTorrent. In this paper, we investigate the free riding phenomenon in BitTorrent. Through simulation experiments, we study in detail BitTorrent´s vulnerability to free riders.
