A Tool for Information Retrieval Research in Peer-to-Peer File Sharing Systems

We introduce IR-Wire, a tool for information retrieval research and education in peer-to-peer file-sharing systems. Built on top of LimeWire's implementation of the popular Gnutella standard, it includes functionality to collect data on queries and shared files and stores them in a way to make analyses simple. IR-Wire is designed modularly to facilitate its customization for other uses.
