FastTrack

Definition: FastTrack was once the most popular P2P file sharing network of all time. Known for its reliability, FastTrack handles millions of registered users with good performance of file uploads and downloads.

FastTrack decentralizes the P2P file sharing process. Instead of relying on central indexing servers, FastTrack dynamically assigns indexing functions to connected peers, called "supernodes," as needed. This supernode mechanism enables scalable network performance.

The FastTrack network officially supports both Kazaa and Grokster P2P clients. FastTrack also can be reached from the iMesh and Kazaa Lite K++ clients.

The Recording Industry Association of America (RIAA) closely monitors FastTrack for illegal file sharing.
