Firefox Extension Promises Private P2P

http://img317.imageshack.us/img317/9...titled35hf.gif

AllPeers released a beta Thursday of what it called the most ambitious Firefox extension to date, a peer-to-peer application that would allow friends and family to share files and content between one another in a private setting.

Unlike the major P2P networks, AllPeers allows the sharing of files securely and privately.

The application has been released on Firefox's extensions Web site, and is compatible with Windows, Mac OS and Linux. The AllPeers backend uses BitTorrent in combination with what is calls a "darknet," where the computer user will remain anonymous while transferring files.

anyone up for teying this out?

I guess thats the problem , you need your friends to be using Firefox and the extension .

Do like this tho " Share 100KB, 100MB, 100GB, it does not matter! "

Here's the Firefox link : https://addons.mozilla.org/firefox/3234/

very good Idea...I know this will come in usefull to me :shifty: as I have a few friends around the place I like to share with. I'd be interested in how the sharers remain hidden. I'll have to do a bit more research. Thanks for the heads up peat.

The only thing that bothers me is why do they need your e-mail address to download the program . Wonder how many noobs will fall for that ?

problem is there's no control at all of upload speed, so it kills your connection when you upload. that, and it's about as stable as mel gibson.

i was thinking the whole forum should set up a group, then whenever someone asks for something we can just pass it about using this instead of hunting through all the newsgroups and p2p networks to find a source, then not post a direct link

Ya Gripper , was talk a while back about this but even if the Mods used it to test who do you let on to the network ? By post count ?, I can can see some numb nut sending a virus . :(

Sorry meant Gepper , hey I can't spell and your going to trust my shared files ?:whistling
