MUTE: Simple, Private File Sharing

Posted by michael on from the freshmeat dept.

oohp writes "MUTE is a new file sharing network that provides easy search and download functionality while protecting your privacy. It does this by routing all messages through a network of neighbour connections, using virtual addresses and encrypting all the traffic (using RSA for public/private keys and AES for the actual encryption). MUTE's routing mechanism is inspired by ant behaviour. The program is available for Linux, Windows and Mac OS X."

    I, for one, welcome our our silent file-sharing ant overlords.

    what makes you assume the mp3s came from the cd and not the vinyl record (using generic terms, as people have actually tried to apply your argument to stuff that _was_ released with the same title on both formats) ?
