Controlled Redundancy P2P Distributed Data Storage

The efficient and optimized distribution of files in peer-to-peer networks is a critical aspect of torrenting protocols. In this research paper, we propose a novel solution that builds on top of existing torrenting protocols to track the redundancy rate of files in a network and optimize file downloads. Our proposed network leverages redundancy tracking to instruct nodes to download files that are below a predefined redundancy target, thereby reducing unnecessary duplication of files and optimizing bandwidth usage. Additionally, our solution provides information to nodes about heavily seeded files, allowing them to reclaim disk space by deleting redundant files. We present a comprehensive system architecture and implementation details of our proposed solution, along with an evaluation of its performance through experiments or simulations. The results show that our solution improves the efficiency of file distribution in torrenting networks and has the potential to significantly reduce bandwidth usage and storage requirements. The findings of this research contribute to the field of peer-to-peer networks and offer insights for further research and development in optimizing torrenting protocols.
