Abstract
A hint-based file locating & routing mechanism was proposed to improve the performance of peer-to-peer file sharing systems. The framework was based on the Freenet document routing model with file location hints to enhance the performance of file searching and downloading. Experiment shows that the proposed mechanism improves the system performance by saving disk space, as well as reduces file transfer latency and alleviates network load.
