ALLIANCE PRIVATE P2P

Found this cool program the other day for Private P2P.

Basically its a LimeWire/SoulSeek style sharing program, but you only share with people you add to your, or who add you to their, circle of sharers – a private peer to peer sharing network

Below is taken from the prog’s homepage (see links below):

“Alliance is a free and open source private and secure place to share files and communicate with people you know. It works on Windows, Mac OS X and Linux. Alliance is completely decentralized.

Technically Alliance takes the best parts of BitTorrent (advanced multi-source downloading), DirectConnect (community) and WASTE (security).

With Alliance users create their own networks. You can either start a new network or get invited into an existing network by another Alliance user.

Encryption is an important part of Alliance. Robust encryption (AES over SSL) has been implemented and is available as an experimental option in Alliance. By default Alliance runs on a very simplistic encryption algorithm. Even with the simple encryption Alliance is more secure than normal P2P networks since you only connect to your trusted friends. “
