Abstract(in English) Each user in the Peer-to-Peer (P2P) file-sharing systems potentially tends to maximize its own benefit rather than the overall system efficiency and performance. On the other hand, there are lots of indistinct points left in the users' selfish behavior and its influence on the system performance. In this paper, we measure the BitTorrent system, which is one of the most famous P2P file-sharing systems, and evaluate users' behavior and system availability. The measurement is conducted through communications with a tracker which manages information about peers sharing the files and with each of those peers. The measurement result shows that about half of users stop opening the file to the public within several hours after completing the file retrieval. In addition, we show that the system is supported not only by a few peers that remain to be providers of the file for a long term, but also by most peers that are temporal suppliers during their own file retrieval.
