A community portal about File sharing with blogs, videos, and photos. According to Wikipedia.org: File sharing is the practice of making files available for other users to download over the Internet and smaller networks. Usually file sharing follows the peer-to-peer model, where the files are stored on and served by personal computers of the users. Most people who engage in file sharing are also downloading files that other users share. Sometimes these two activities are linked together. P2P File sharing is distinct from file trading in that downloading files from a P2P network does not require uploading, although some networks either provide incentives for uploading such as credits or force the sharing of files being currently downloaded.

Not surprising Bittorrent Sharing down Rapidshare way up

One of the plausible guesses of what would happen when the Pirate Bay was sued was that file sharers were not only to go on doing what they wanted to do, but that other systems were going to be used rather than the all too traceable Bittorrent and P2P systems that are currently used. 10 years after Napster we are still sharing, and sharing gigabytes of data each day.
