Abstract :
Peer-to-Peer (P2P) mode dominates the way that files are shared over the Internet today. A measurement study on the user behavior during the P2P file sharing is important and helpful to better understand and design P2P networks. In this paper, we developed a method to collect information about peers and connections in movie sharing at the BitTorrent client side. Based on the collected data, we have derived 5 observations in the influence upon peers and connections distributions over geographic areas (at different levels of continents, countries, cities) by differences of population, GDP (Gross Domestic Product), time zone and life style.
