Abstract

File sharing networks are one of the most popular Internet applications nowadays. Despite its success, these networks have two main issues: the ineffectiveness in downloading content that few users in the network have and the high incidence of getting files different from the ones the user supposed to ask for. This paper presents new mechanisms for indexing and segmentation of audio content, aiming to improve the user experience when facing the problems previously mentioned. Our proposal has been validated through tests, with good results in comparison with the approach used by popular file sharing applications.
