LimeWire Brings Darknets To All

Posted by samzenpus on from the yes-have-some dept.

An anonymous reader writes "LimeWire's new version lets people create private darknets with contacts on any Jabber server (like GMail or LiveJournal). It's different than the recent p2p darknet announcement because it doesn't use onion routing. Sharing with a friend connects directly to that friend. If you're worried about exposing personal information, LW5 doesn't share documents with the p2p network by default."

    Yeah that's exactly the perfect answer. Stop whining about how you love Swiss/French Cheese and make some orange industrial Cheddar instead. Right.
