File sharing programs are used amazingly to share files. Most often to share large files like videos, music and applications. Often also called p2p or peer-to-peer.

The list of file sharing applications used in our 2011 poll came from Wikipedia.

The last time we conducted this poll was in 2009.

The results of our recent poll find that a plurality of participants do not use any file sharing application.

The most voted for application was uTorrent.

The runners up by an unknown margin were Bittorrent, and Frostwire
