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 could be wrong, but I think you may be reaching here.

    I've never heard the Malda analogy used to describe felching. Also, it seems likely to me that you haven't tried it and are just assuming that felching implies gayness (you may be right, but maybe not). Lastly, if a crazy straw with the penis shaped top is just beginning to be used, it's very likely to be slow due to a lack of users rather than inherent technical limitations of the straw itself.

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

    ...because you were already there? ...doing a vastly superior job with your extensive ball-licking experience?

    has anyone else noticed how slashdot culture went from late-60s-hippie-change-the-world in the easy-money-wired-magazine-90s to a bunch of early-80s-prissy-assholes trying way too hard to be the computer nerd knock-off of pat buchanan?

    keep trying to put people down if it strokes your ego long enough to temporarily forget about how the global industrialized economy has been in an overall negative since the end of world war 2.

    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) ?
