Distribution
A Java application for sharing files based on Peer-to-peer protocol similar to Bittorent with some added functionalities.
Basic Features:
- A user account to which each user can log into and create his profile and can share content with others.
- A dashboard for the user showing the files he has downloaded or shared, the number of people who have downloaded the files he/she has shared.
- While sharing a file the user should be able to define what kind of fileit is.
- A file shared by any user should be stored on multiple nodes either as a complete copy or in the form partial chunks. (i.e. in a Distributed Manner)
- The chunks of any single file must be stored in at least 3 different nodes.
- A user should be able to download a file using a unique identifier (i.e. a file (or any such entity or object) which exclusively defines that particular file which the user wants to download).
- If identical files are shared by different users, they should have the same identifier.
- Create an interface where the user can search for different kinds of files
- Create a user interface where users can search a file using the file title/name.
Advanced Features:
- File shared by the user can have multiple tags like a movie shared by a user can have tags like action, fantasy etc., a book shared by a user can have tags like ML, coursebook etc.
- Create a search utility where the user can view files and search files using various other parameters like file type Document, Video, Song,Movie etc.), tags etc.
- For a file (or a part of a file) which is stored on multiple nodes, downloads for that file should occur parallelly from all those nodes which are online and which have a part of that file.
- In case of multimedia files like videos or movies, play the video/movie without downloading the whole file.
- Recommend multimedia files for users based on their download/view history.
- If for a search query there are multiple results, rank the results based on the availability of that file on different nodes.
- A user who has still not downloaded the whole file (but has some part of it ) can have other users downloading that part of the file from his node.
