Magnet-linksMagnet-link Or Magnetic Links - peer networks of the 3rd generation. If peer-to-peer networks are looped on the main server, the magnetic networks are not tied to anything, the user is connected to all users directly. Peer-to-peer networks (P2P — person to person) These are computer networks based on the equality of participants. In contrast to the Client-Server architecture.
Magnet-links are opened by any popular torrent client (for example, uTorrent), that is, apparently nothing has changed - you do not even need another program. But the technology of information exchange is actually quite different.
First, the magnet link is not a file. So, there is no one to grab the hand and blame the spread of the actual torrents. Magnet is a string that passes data to the program automatically, without intermediaries in the form of torrent files. Secondly, the search for information sources (peers) is carried out through the so-called decentralized network (DHT). If earlier the search went through a tracker, which in turn needed a server, now the tracker (and along with it and the server) is not required at all. | Torrent Torrent glossary Search Torrent Torrent trackers and how to download Software Bitcoin - peer money Torrent cloud |
