h1. Algorithms h2. Searching For a functional description see here : [[Functional definition#The-search-window]] # !aybabtu_search.png! h2. Peer ID Each peer owns a peer id which is unique and generated during the first start. This ID is used to identify a peer, it's better than the previous usage of peer IP, considering this situation : * _A_ put in queue a file entry _f_ from _B_, _B_ doesn't know the hashes of this file entry. * _B_ change his IP address. * _A_ want to download _f_, it can ask _B_ for the hashes even _B_'s IP changed. h2. Core threads There are three kind of threads in the core in addition to the main thread : * [[Protocol_core-core#Downloading-thread|Downloading thread]] Downloading thread : @DownloadManager::ChunkDownloader@ * Uploading thread : @UploadManager::Uploader@ * Updating file cache thread : @FileManager::FileUpdater@ h2. Downloading See here : [[Protocol_core-core#Downloading-threads]]
