Which statement about P2P/Torrents is true?

• A. They are a type of antivirus software.
• B. They require a central server to coordinate downloads.
• C. They automatically protect against malware.
• D. They allow users to download large files from many hosts quickly.

Answer: (D)

P2P networks work by sharing pieces of a file directly between many users rather than pulling the whole file from a single source. This distributed approach lets your client download different chunks from multiple peers at the same time, which often speeds up transferring large files. It doesn't rely on a central server to coordinate the entire download, though some systems may use trackers to help peers find each other. It also doesn’t automatically protect against malware or act as antivirus software. So, the true statement is that P2P/Torrents allow users to download large files from many hosts quickly.
