P2P Algorithm

Normally I would be happy to help you, but after several years of trying to help here, I've decided not to contribute anymore because of the piss-poor way in which this site is being administered.

Others are still helping, but more may leave if things don't improve. May I recommend devshed or javaranch?

I don't think there is a simple set of instructions which discribe the full working of peer-to-peer (distributed computing). I also wouldn't call P2P an algortihm, but rather a (communication) protocol.

Anyway, you're most welcome for the provided links and all the luck to you!
