The QLectives Platform has been implemented by the Tribler team, as a way to incorporate new functionalities developed by the QLectives project to enhance open source media-sharing Peer-to-Peer (P2P) applications (such as Tribler itself).

QLectives Platform version 1.0 provides the following Additional Functions:

• In P2P systems, arbitrary computers on the Internet connect with each other. However, firewalls, broadband modems and routers obstruct these connections. For communities to be established and quality to be improved, it is critical that users in a P2P system can communicate among themselves. QLectives Platform version 1.0 features a new component (a ‘NAT-puncturing module’) which gets round the obstacles created by firewalls, broadband modems and routers, and helps to increase connectivity amongst users in a P2P system.
• Peer-to-Peer (P2P) widgets: These are small programs that can be distributed and installed in a P2P network to create new services and applications on top of an existing P2P structure. Users can therefore choose from a collection of widgets and add new functions to their P2P application, such as new ways to find ‘friends’ or new ways to rate content or view others’ ratings.
