Locutus Preview Released

An anonymous reader writes "FreeNet's Ian Clarke has released the preview version of his latest P2P endeavor Locutus. Aimed at the corporate world, Locutus adds encryption to the mix - new for a P2P client - to secure files traded across the network as well as the ability to scan within text files to improve search results. Locutus Lite is the free version for those who are more concerned with trading movies and tunes. Locutus Enterprise is the pay version that Clarke hopes to lure corporations to shell out money for (for secure trading of research and other documents). Those interested in trying the preview can download it here."

    Troll.

    No you're not a troll because you have some *different* opinion on things, you have a *bullshit* opinion on things.

    Niceness and cleanliness have nothing to do with functionality. It's like an elected official being for education.

    I doubt you've written any comparable programs for Linux since you seem to think you wrote them in Linux.

    Given your post's intended domain, trolling pro-M$ while waning psuedo-intellectual, it is very well done. Even got the mods fooled.

    Keep your clean bs in it's intended domain. I'll keep using Practical solutions.

    You know what I'm surprised at?

    Ian Clarke, who's obviously a smart fellow, decided to further Microsoft's .NET cause and not pick something that could be ported on variety of operating systems, other than Windows.

    Dumb move. This project will fail just like Freenet did.

    Are you reading this Ian? Fuck you, for not supporting OSS. Here's a newsflash: Linux also has commercial apps. You'll make your money eventually. I won't be installing this shitty fucking app because I refuse to install .NET anywhere on my Win2k machine.
