Peer to peer software programs are?

Peer-to-peer (P2P) software programs enable direct sharing of files and resources between users without a central server. This decentralized approach allows users to connect directly, facilitating the exchange of data, such as music, videos, and documents. Popular examples include BitTorrent and file-sharing applications like Limewire. P2P networks can enhance efficiency and reduce costs, but they may also raise concerns regarding copyright infringement and security.
