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."
any suggestions appreciated
I noticed when I was setting it up that it only adds the file extensions of .doc .htm .html .mp3 .ppt and .txt - Does this mean no movies/wares?
Also, Amazing, I just did a search for pr0n (spelt correctly)... and nothing turned up! Jeez slashdotters, you guys arn't what you used to be...
The application is only 400k in size, but many users will notice that the download is over 20MB. This is because Locutus relies on Microsoft's .NET framework, and if a user doesn't have .NET they will automatically download a version of the installer that does.
Go figure - Locutus only works with Windows.
