hey man ... this is very simple !
p2p means person to person transaction .. in this transaction the materiel should be of any kind.. may b money , documents, films etc.. there is only 2 people involved in this transaction. but on a torrent , there are many users involved . the main component in torrent is sharing and distributing any sort of files between users (world wide)-- practically -- if a man wants to download a film from the torrent then he takes the download link from the torrent and starts download , in this process there are a lot of users having this film and downloading (right now) , from these users the network will take the film as small parts from each user linked in torrent!
so there are many users share there transactions between each other (without even knowing)

hi friend,
first of all sorry ! because i meant u r asking for person to person(p2p) transaction . but in your case it is peer to peer(p2p) transaction . well , its all the part of misunderstanding between both p2p and p2p !
in my case (person-2-person transaction) it is very simple - if a man want to send money through p2p , then its simple by using an internet bank like Paypal !
to that p2p means person to person transaction !
once again sorry ! well its all the part of misunderstanding with both p2p.

p2p and torrents are very much the same with just a little differences, they both make use to download and share files from other computer users, in p2p the file or files are transferred between two users and the speed depends on how fast the sender can send the files, it is good when downloading small files. Torrent on the other hand is transferring the file through many users at the same time, breaking the files into small pieces or packets, it is faster for transferring large files than p2p.
