Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention are directed to a file sharing system, method and apparatus which operate on a network and provide peer to peer file sharing. The file delivery system receives data files from third parties, encrypts the data and stores the file in a database. Once the file has been stored, the file delivery system creates `clone` identifiers, or variant target query terms for the file, wherein the clone identifiers are shortcuts or aliases for the file identification that create a set of variations upon which a file can be identified. The `clone` identifiers are stored in a database and are associated with the specific file. Upon request from a user for the file, the file is transmitted to the user. In addition, tracking software is transmitted with the file such that the subsequent downloading of other files from a third party to the user can be monitored and targeted advertisements can be displayed.
