ShareDaemon 0.2.0

ShareDaemon is a multi-platform filesharing client for eDonkey2000 network. Designed in clean modular setup with separated networking and interface code, ShareDaemon runs on Windows, Linux, BSD, Solaris and Mac OS X platforms.

ShareDaemon is free and open source software, licenced under GNU General Public Licence.

ShareDaemon is split into a number of smaller programs, so-called modules. The most important module is the core module, which handles all the networking and files related things. The core can be run in the background as a daemon or service, and it does not produce any graphical output.

For controlling the core, we are currently providing two graphical user interfaces: wxInterface and webInterface.

wxInterface which is what one could call "a standard interface" - it is a window, somewhat similar to eMule interface. It "talks" to the core through unix sockets or TCP/IP on non-unix platforms.

webInterface is designed for remote controlling. It also runs as a background service/daemon on the same machine as the core runs and "talks" to the core, but instead of having a "usual" graphical interface, webInterface provides a web-browser based access. All you need to access your downloads from a remote location is a web browser, and you have full control of your downloads without installing any software in the remote computer.
