P2P SOFTWARE

Here are a few P2P programes with different security features. WHat do you think? Know of any better ones?

Shareaza http://www.shareaza.com/?id=home
This program does not contain any kind of spyware.

Be Secure! You never know who's out there.
Block unwanted attention
With the help of security block lists, a highly-sophisticated IP and client filter, you have the ability to block malicious companies and clients. Shareaza keeps you safe.

Filetopia http://www.filetopia.org/index7.htm
This program does not contain any kind of spyware.

What is unique to this software is the level of security and privacy that it provides. It uses a choice of strong ciphers and public key techniques for all communications and sophisticated techniques to protect your IP and thus make you truly anonymous and safe from attacks.

Q: Do I really need to use a bouncer?
A: There is a trade off when using bouncers: your connections will go slower and they will lose reliability -as they have to go through another machine-. So using bouncers is not always indicated. Do it only if the information you exchange is very sensitive and if you are not sure about who is at the other end of the connection. The problem is: Filetopia helps you to make a secure tunnel to exchange information, but if you're not sure who is at the other side of the tunnel, then you better be careful. There are other means to approach this problem using Public Key technology, one of them is by using certificates and creating "webs of trust". This interesting application of PKI will probably be addressed in a future version of Filetopia.

Q: I would like to host a bouncer, what do I need?
A: You can host a bouncer for your own use or you can share it with others. The bouncer software is written in Java, it is multi-user and comes with complete source code. If you host a bouncer, you can decide its password and port, configuring a very simple INI file.

Hosting a bouncer means that you have access to a public server with a fixed IP. You should also consider the advantages of making the bouncer public: the more people that use it, the more anonymous it is. And also, you would be contributing to the Filetopia community. The bandwidth used at the server is just what each user connected to the bouncer uses for Filetopia.

You can get the bouncer's full source code here. http://www.filetopia.org/bouncer.zip

eXeem http://www.exeem.com
AD SUPPORTED SOFTWARE

eXeemâ„¢ is a brand new Peer-To-Peer program, which is based on the BitTorrent idea. eXeemâ„¢ eliminates the need for trackers as nodes in the program will be taking their role. eXeemâ„¢ also features easy publication of files to the network as well as a rating and comments system. eXeemâ„¢ contains NO SPYWARE. eXeemâ„¢ is free and is ad-supported. eXeemâ„¢ is currently still in its beta testing phase, which means that the network might not be completely stable yet. You are still very welcome to give eXeemâ„¢ a try and see how it is different from other Peer-To-Peer programs

Underground programmers hoping to capitalize on the BitTorrent file-swapping community on Friday unveiled highly anticipated software that some peer-to-peer advocates believe could blunt recent legal attacks from Hollywood.

Called Exeem, the software aims to merge the speedy downloads of BitTorrent with the powerful global search capabilities of Kazaa or eDonkey. The first public version of the program was released by a company called Swarm Systems but has been associated with SuprNova, a Web site that, until recently, drew millions of people seeking free content online through the popular BitTorrent software.

I have a version of Kazaa Lite that has no spyware and has served me well. I also have used WINMX. It is not as sweet but works well enough.

You wouldn't want the bouncer on your computer Sci. It would be best planted on a public server, University, Library, etc. The idea of the bouncer is to give some level of anonymity. If some entity were to try and track a file source they would be led to the server with the bouncer not you personal computer. :wink:

Ok, so I'm showing my ignorance here. When I try and download something from the bit torrent sites (ala software), the computer will not recognize the file type. It prompts to search the web for the appropriate program to open the file or else have me choose something. Am I missing something here?

Mort, I'll betcha already have WinRar installed, so it may be ISO files that you see.
Try this program:
http://www.smart-projects.net/isobuster/

Try extracting the files with this first. You may be able to use tham then.
Let me know if this helps.
