WASTE File Sharing

: "WASTE is a software product and protocol that enables secure distributed communication for small (on the order of 10-50 nodes) trusted groups of users.

WASTE is designed to enable small companies and small teams within larger companies to easily communicate and collaborate in a secure and efficient fashion, independent of physical network topology. "

This is very interesting. Both in technology and practicality.

I used to use MSN Messenger to share files, but because of the firewalls most attempts are cancelled. Here's how WASTE does it:

WASTE uses a distributed architecture that allows for nodes to connect in a partial mesh type network. Nodes on the network can broadcast and route traffic. Nodes that are not publicly accessible or on slow links can choose not to route traffic. This network is built such that all services utilize the network, so firewall issues become moot.

If you get this installed give me a ping: MsIM riccaetano@hotmail.com
