How it works

For All Users

All computers with Windows, FreeBSD or Linux operating systems can retrieve files from the PeerEnabler distribution platform free. The only requirement is that the P2P Networking plug in is installed on your computer. Content providers make files available over the PeerEnabler network.

For Publishers

Publishers need to sign files before they are published. This is done with the PeerEnabler signing utility, which is a command line tool used once per published file. The signing results in a signature file, which together with the file to be published is uploaded to a web server.

In order to sign and publish a file, publishers need a license file provided by Joltid. The license file is used by the signing utility. Acquiring a License file from Joltid is done here.

Step by Step

The PeerEnabler platform is easy to use, and this simple summary shows how the entire distribution flow works.

• End users have P2P Networking component
• Publishers sign files and upload on web server
• End users start downloading
• Peers transparently become download sources
• Web server is a fallback if no peer sources are available
• Guaranteed file authenticity
