100% breakthrough firewall PP point pass 2006 evaluation report

resource integration and sharing has gradually become a unique landscape on the Internet, especially in the field of IM and P2P software. Microsoft's MSN has issued an announcement soon to realize instant messaging with Yahoo Messenger. In the field of P2P software, PP has already taken this step, and another big P2P up-and-coming Poco has realized resource sharing and can download each other. File resources in the other system. Recently, PP Point has launched the 2006 version, which enhances the search and multi-point download function, and claims to be 100% breakthrough firewall, allowing users to experience the fun of downloading anytime, anywhere.

PP has two versions of PP and VPP. PP is free software, and the shared color is relatively thick. Users who download resources purely are more suitable for this version. And VPP is a fee-based software that can clearly know where the files are from, and can also control the downloads of others here, which is more suitable for friends who like software communication and collection. The following is the login interface of PP2006, (Figure 1) is relatively clean and concise, if you have not registered the PP number, you can register directly here. I have no problem registering directly with the ADSL line, but the registration fails in the company LAN environment, and the registration page cannot be displayed. It may be a small bug in PP2006.

Figure 1 PP point pass 2006 login screen First look at the main interface of PP2006. (Figure 2) The interface is divided into 3 sections, the left side is the user and the download information area, all kinds of information can be seen here. Above the right side is the settings area where file sharing and download settings can be done. Below it is the file operation area, and various operations for downloading or sharing files are performed here. The functional area is clearly defined and simple, even for beginners. Compared with the previous version, PP2006 removes the inefficient embedded player (VPP is still reserved), and the number of online users has further increased. When I used PP in early 2005, the number of online users was only 200,000, and now it has exceeded 500,000, I can imagine PP is definitely a treasure trove of resources.
Figure 2 PP2006 main interface P2P software's main function is the search and download function. In this regard, PP2006 claims to improve the search algorithm and use the multi-point download function to ensure your download speed. However, after using the test, I found that there are still many small problems in the search. First, it still does not support single-sub-search and suffix-face search. Some songs and movies have a single name. They can only search by searching for the director's name or singer's name, and then find it from a lot of results, which is very inconvenient. When downloading mp3 or mtv, some users like to download a specific format, do not support suffix search, it is also very inconvenient to find. The second is to cancel the BT seed search function in the previous version. PP2006 can open the bt seed file for bt download, but can't search the seed file in PP. I don't know if it is because of avoiding copyright problems, it is not very convenient for users. And this version has a small error, everyone pay attention to the "file size" in the figure below (Figure 3), the unit should be MB, but here is displayed as KB, but also a small BUG.
Figure 3 PP2006 search and download aspects PP2006 does a good job, the author 512K ADSL telecommunications line, tested several different types of file downloads, basically reached the top speed of 50K or more after 2 or 3 seconds. PP2006's 100% penetration firewall technology does have a significant effect. In the more complex LAN environment of the company (the company is connected to the Internet in Hong Kong and connected to the Internet), it can achieve a download speed of more than 200K. If you think the download speed is slow, you can wait for it. If it is slow, then download it from another source. If you download a relatively large file such as a movie, the disk will be pre-allocated before downloading. There may be a short time for the PP point to temporarily lose the response. There is no crash at this time, and you can wait patiently for a while. After the download is complete, click on the “Downloaded Files” tab above to see the downloaded files. PP Point-to-Point provides a more complete file classification management for you to view and use.
Click the "Share" button on the software toolbar to add a shared directory. You can choose to share the files or folders on the hard disk to other PP users. Note that the number of shares should not be too much, otherwise it will seriously slow down your system.
PP2006 has a built-in browser. This function is more practical. Because the search function is not very powerful, PP puts a lot of classified movies, mp3 and other resources on the website. Just click on the corresponding name on the webpage. PP point-to-point will directly search for users who are “lazy” to find resources. (Figure 4)

Figure 4 PP2006 built after a browser sense evaluation after years of development, PP little pass really significant progress. In addition, Poco has realized resource sharing, so the popularity of PP is very popular, and the amount of resources is also very large. You can find many good things on it. The software interface has been improved, the functional area is clearly defined, the information display is also complete, the operation is quick and easy, and the file management is improved, which is very convenient to use. However, when PP was just launched, it was criticized for users to exchange pornographic videos or pictures through it. This issue was not completely resolved until the latest 2006 version. Although the software author has blocked a lot of pornographic-related keywords, even if I set the filter level to the highest, I can still search for a lot of pornographic content by entering some words of the edge-baked ball, and people are constantly sending pornographic websites, even PP. There are many tempting pictures and words in the advertisements in the software, which makes many users decide to resent, which will be very unfavorable for the long-term development of PP.
PP point-to-point may be aimed at the entertainment portal, the software is mainly to search for movies and TV drama videos, mp3s and pictures, and also provides services such as blogs, photo albums, shopping, parties, games and communities. However, the most important search and downloads have not achieved the leading level of similar software, and the functions are obviously monotonous. In addition to the popularity of resources with Poco, there is little progress in resource sharing. I hope that PP can first make the P2P search and download block bigger and stronger, increase the user's viscosity, and then move on to the goal of the entertainment portal.
