Peer-to-peer file sharing or commonly known as P2P is a convenient way of sharing files over the internet. However, you must be very careful when using P2P because some of the files uploaded to the internet have viruses, spyware and other threats that can harm your PC. You should only download files from a friend or those person whom you trust.
List of Web-based P2P File Sharing Sites:
1.WikiFortio
WikiFortio allows you to upload files up to 100 MB in size. After uploading your file, you can share the unique ID or unique URL to your friends/family which they can use to download the file.
2.PipeBytes
PipeBytes is my favorite web-based P2P file sharing service. There’s no upload limit and your friend could start downloading the file as you upload it.
3.Wikisend
Wikisend is almost the same as WikiFortio.
4.Files Over Miles
Files Over Miles is as cool as PipeBytes. Just browse the file you want to send and you’ll be given a unique URL that you can send to your friend to download the file. You can also add a password to protect your file.

5. Machsend
Machsend is a nice file sharing service but it requires you to install a Yahoo! plugin called Browser Plus before you can use their service. After installing Browser Plus, you can now drag and drop the files that you want to send.
6. iSendr
iSendr has the same concept like PipeBytes where your friend could start downloading the file as you upload it.











I'd like to add another file sharing tool as a suggestion, it's not web based but I find it useful: it's called Audials Light (you can find it here: http://personalmediacloud.com) and, as the website says, it works a little bit like a personal media cloud, you can basically share your media with someone if you just send them an invitation. I think it's a little bit more private than using a web based p2p file sharing site and that's why I sometimes prefer to use this one.
