nsane.forums Posted February 24, 2009 Share Posted February 24, 2009 New friend-to-friend (F2F) data sharing application allows users complete control over how data is shared, with the public, with friends, with some friends but not others, and so forth. Some of the same researchers at the University of Washington that brought us BitTyrant have now developed a new privacy preserving file-sharing client called OneSwarm. It's based on BitTorrent (and backwards compatible), but includes some new features like search, friend to friend data sharing (F2F), permissions, and a web UI with real time audio/video transcoding and remote access to name a few."Although widely used, currently popular P2P networks expose the sharing behavior of their users to monitoring by third parties," reads OneSwarm's technical report.
