Abstract: A method and system for sharing content among client computer systems. A content sharing system includes a server component executing on a server computer system that controls the logging on and off of users and establishes a connection or session with each client computer system whose user is logged-on. Because of these connections, administrative messages from one client to any other client can be sent via the server. The shared content, however, may be sent from client to client on a peer-to-peer basis without sending the shared content to the server.
