Blocks differs from other anonymous file transfer utilities in that the following ways...
All 'uploaded' files are split into small 64Kb blocks. 'File advertisements' are broadcast through out the network. Your Blocks application needs to be running to see them. When you do a 'search' you are actually searching the local list maintained by your Blocks application, searches are never broadcast.
The data blocks are routed from server to server rather than from point to point, with content being replicated through out the 'network'. IP addresses are not associated with uploads or downloads in any way.
Each Blocks application acts as a potential client, server, and caching proxy for data blocks.
Blocks uses a large disk bound cache (1-64Gb) that is protected by a 128bit block cipher using a random key based on a strong Pseudo Random Number Generator (entropy provided by user), and the cache is deleted and recreated each time the Blocks server is stopped or started. Therefore, even after a crash or abnormal termination, the disk cache cannot be used to ascertain what data has been downloaded or was being served.
All network connections are protected by a 128bit stream cipher using a session key created from a 512bit Diffie-Hellman key exchange. So, network logs cannot be used to identify what network passed through the system.
