P2p

Options

"You can turn on or off the P2P update options using the corresponding switches.


Use P2P update system


Turn on this option to download malware signature updates from other Bitdefender users using the P2P update system. Bitdefender uses ports 8880 - 8889 for peer-to-peer update."


I can't find this option has it been removed in 2013? I know I had it disabled in 2012. If the option has been removed is it still using p2p for updates or direct from the server ?

    Hello :)


    That option was removed because right now we have new update servers, a lot of new mirrors and the direct download process is a lot faster than P2P technology.


    Have a great weekend!

    Yes, and that's not all. We will make more changes in the near future.


    Take care.

    Please can you specify the list of update servers and mirrors? Checking network activity related to "continuous" update process i noted suspected connection of downloader.exe process with the folowing URLs:


    cust199-15.netcabo.co.mz


    50.97.42.210-static.reverse.softlayer.com


    First one appears suspected, it corresponds to a web streeming site in Mozambico!


    Please, let us know.

    Hello :)


    The P2P option was removed from all versions of Bitdefender (2010 +) via a product update that was released two weeks ago.


    I can not provide you the list of the mirrors and partners(this information is not public), but I can assure you that download.exe can only connect to a predefined list of servers, so there is no mistake there.


    Take care.
