Default P2P
PPStream
is a network for live media streaming, or you can call it a P2P Streaming Internet TV. In principle it's similar to BitTorrent(BT).

It can broadcast TV programs stably and smoothly to broadband users. Compared to traditional stream media, PPStream adopts p2p - streaming technology and supports full-scale visit with tens of thousands of users online. Its client software can be used as a webpage or as a desktop program.

Currently the majority of PPStream TV channels are from China, Hong-Kong, Taiwan and Singapore.

How to use PPStream

1. Download the PPStream software and install it. Alternatively, you can also view it online.
2. Run PPStream and you'll see 3 panes. The left one is the channel list in which the channels are sorted according to popularity.

Hint: During soccer or football live broadcast, you can be quite sure that TV channels broadcasting them will be ones of the most popular (thus they will be on top of the channel list).

Hint: The channel list has 3 columns: TV channel name, stream quality (measured in Kbps), and the number of users connected to this channel. The more users connected to the channel, the more likely you will be able to watch it smoothly and stably.

The majority of channels have a description (albeit most of them are in Chinese language). To view a channel description, right click on the channel, and click on the last item.

Hint: Save the URL address of your favorite TV channel as a shortcut with your own description (it helps a lot when you don't know Chinese language).

The right pane contains a list of recommended TV programs, TV schedule links and announcements. On top of it is a highly recommended show.

Hint: If you click on a link with an icon of a clock and a calender, you will see the full schedule for the channel (albeit in Chinese language). You may also schedule your application to switch to a particular channel at a particular time.

And in the center there is an embedded Windows Media Player in which TV stream is played once a channel is chosen.

Hint: To view a channel in full screen just press Alt-Enter.

"Peer Guardian"
If you use bittorrents, eDonkey, WinMX, Gnutella, Limewire, or any other P2P network, then you are likely being scanned by investigators. In an effort to trap and prosecute people for abusing copyrighted movies and music, investigators often pose as P2P downloaders. While they themselves share and download copyrighted files, these "posers" also scan and log your IP (internet protocol) address. Your computer IP address then becomes ammunition for civil lawsuits, where you may be sued for copyright infringement.

These investigator "posers" are everywhere. Their efforts will sometimes result in wholesale lawsuits, where hundreds of downloaders are charged thousands of dollars in copyright fines. Investigating posers comprise up to 3% of all P2P downloaders you may be sharing files with.

In this war over digital freedoms, there are a couple of options for concealing your identity from these prying eyes.
Using either a proxy or a masking solution, or both in conjunction, will help hide you from being tracked by investigators or anyone trying to observe your downloading habits. The concealment is not 100%, but it is as private as you can get as a public user of the Web.
Note: while Peer Guardian does work with Windows XP, 2000, ME and 98, it does not yet work with Windows Vista. A Windows Vista version of PG will hopefully be available by mid-June of 2008.

1. Peer Guardian maintains a centralized database of all the common investigator entities: RIAA, MPAA, MediaForce, MediaDefender, BaySTP, Ranger, OverPeer, NetPD and others.

2. Peer Guardian monitors these investigators' IP addresses by using sophisticated tracking devices. The investigators' digital addresses are then compiled into a centralized "blacklist" that is updated hourly.

3. Peer Guardian then gives away free "filtering" software to users. This software constantly checks the centralized blacklist, and then blocks your IP address from being seen by those investigator IP addresses.

4. You install the free Peer Guardian IP filter software on your PC, and it will deflect over 99% of the investigators away from your machine. You will be rendered effectively invisible to anyone on the Peer Guardian blacklist.


Important note: Peer Guardian is a filtering tool only, and does not replace having a security firewall to protect you against hackers. You still need to institute some kind of network firewall defense in addition to Peer Guardian.

Peer Guardian software is compatible with all the major file sharing applications, such as Kazaa, iMesh, LimeWire, eMule, Grokster, DC++, Shareaza, Azureus, BitLord, ABC, and others.

As part of the grassroots push to maintain Internet freedoms and anonymity, the Peer Guardian software designers have armed downloaders with a very powerful defense here.
