Summary: | 碩士 === 亞洲大學 === 資訊工程學系碩士班 === 95 === Due to limited download bandwidth, most school learning websites could only provide files of smaller size, such as Office files, images, and Flash animation. The school activities presented in stilled formats hardly attract the attention of students and parents. Even the school wants to provide instructional video and activity films of larger file sizes, the download speed would be quite slow due to the limited bandwidth.
The multi-peer to multi-peer download mode (P2P) of BitTorrent is one of the popular technologies on the Internet. With excellent performance in reducing server load, quick share, and fast download, BitTorrent is used as one of the P2P transmission technology research
tools in this study for efficiency testing of downloading large files from instructional websites.
This study designed and tested three download methods, namely BitTorrent, FlashGet, and single line download with the same large video file. The download was recorded, analyzed, and researched the feasibility of constructing learning file transmission with BitTorrent. This study also discussed which download tool is more effective under different time periods. By using P2P software, users could effectively share various files, yet there are problems
of Internet jam and infringement of intellectual property. Therefore, BitTorrent has been considered a tool that assists piracy and illegal broadcasting. If the excellent transmission capability of P2P software could be used positively in education and business, better file transmission service could be provided, as a result, P2P software could contribute to the Internet.
