Actually WinMX and LimeWire are P2P but the searches you conduct are run through a central server, or series of servers in which a log is kept of those that logon to the service, when you send out a request the server pings those that are connected and asks if they have the file, you then get a list of people with the file and can choose who to download from. Meaning it can eventually be shutdown.ZooTech wrote:WinMX and LimeWire are P2P as well.Sevulturus wrote:there's no central server (such as WinMx and Limewire have) to shut down.
Bitorrent doesn't work that way.
