Scalable Peer-to-Peer File Distribution System

Scalable Peer-to-Peer File Distribution System

Design a high-performance distributed file transfer system similar to BitTorrent. The system must support millions of concurrent users sharing large files (GBs to TBs) while minimizing server bandwidth costs. Focus on the architecture for peer discovery (Tracker), metadata management, and the logic for direct peer-to-peer data exchange. Address challenges such as peer churn, data integrity verification, and incentives to prevent leeching (free-riding).
