Its not really an issue with the torrents because the users themselves
will tell each other if a torrent is a fake.
You have people, the peer process, checking the data and reporting its
integrity as it happens.
P2P like kazaa didn't really have that. And so that is partially why
they were so vulnerable.
So lets suppose you have 20 tera-bytes of data, and let suppose it is
music, so you put that in your virtual music room, separating that
from your rocket science, but thats still a lot of data to sift
through and don't we already have a filename problem?
Anyone with any sizable music collection knows, that files have
numbers in them at the beginning, the data is not universally
organized although much of it is with extended information in the file
header accessible by proper music programs and even fixable by
accessing databases on the net for look up information regarding album
covers and the like.
But the problem does originate at the source where the format of the
file type, such as MP3 does not enforce, proper naming of the data to
begin with.
The design of file types, should be able to do more to ensure that
people will know the contents of the data.
You see with torrents, you download a large file, often the first part
of that file is the last you get, so that the integrity of the entire
file, is retained.
If you stop the download the file is useless without the file header.
With peer to peer, people were stopping the download and then others
would download that partial file.
So the design of the torrent system helps to ensure that files will
remain complete in the system.
But the proper naming of files and content as a for instance video.
Well you should have a series of snapshots of the entire video sitting
in the header of the file and extractable, so that it tells you at a
glance what the content is.
And you could also expand that to other file types as well to allow
for previewing of the content.
So much data is transferred for nothing and then discarded. Thats just
plain mental. An example of the true incompetence of the general
public and the so called experts who are putting this all together and
working on it constantly.
And then so much of it is stored and never looked at again, because it
wasn't wanted in the first place.
So its all about wasting time and wasting space.
So again doing it more quickly will not make it better.
