Abstract
A method comprising a search phase to find shared information in a peer-to-peer network by terminals each being configured as client and as server to share information with other terminals in the peer-to-peer network, the search phase being triggered on a server in a peer-to-peer network, connected to a data transmission network, after a request sent by a user terminal connected to the server but not to the peer-to-peer network, this phase comprising a step in which a list of shared information is created and transmitted to the terminal in response to the request, a step in which shared information is selected from this list on the terminal, and a phase in which the selected information is downloaded to the terminal not connected to the peer-to-peer network, after a download request has been sent from the terminal.
