Free p2p file sharing softwares software for linux

MUTE File Sharing is a peer-to-peer network that provides easy search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
It compiles as a fast, native application for many platforms (no Java, no Python, etc.).
MUTE protects your privacy by avoiding direct connections with your sharing partners in the network. Most other file sharing programs use direct connections to download or upload, making your identity available to spies from the RIAA and other unscrupulous organizations.
MUTE is based on research, and experiments show that it works quite well. MUTEs ant-inspired routing is light-weight, robust, and adaptive. Results from experiments in real MUTE networks show that the collective behavior of MUTE nodes quickly finds the shortest (or fastest) routing path between two nodes on the network.
Enhancements:
- This release fixes bugs in MUTEs initial connection to the network upon startup.
- MUTE has also been upgraded to Crypto++ 5.4, so it should now compile using GCC 4.1.

Web Sharing is a small tray applet for sharing files on the web.

Publish anything on the Internet or your local area network at home, office or school from a folder on your hard disk with just a few clicks of a mouse!

file*HANDLER project is primarily a Perl script which coordinates some free media conversion packages (cited later) with a PostgreSQL back end accessing server to index and serve binary and text files direct from the database. A simple CGI file with embedded AJAX makes calls to this server which is also constantly looking for other alive f*H servers on the Internet.
Since the server caches media into the SQL database on demand, as the network grows, the network improves.
Its gridded directory sharing/browsing/searching with streaming audio/video as well as flat text/doc/pdf/image display for everyone. Its written with a few hooks for tags that would be included in your actual front page so that the UI is discard-able -- anyone can quickly rewrite a whole new [GT]UI without having to worry about the syntax of the newest version of dojo.licio.r or whatever.
If you wanted to ignore the JS/HTML/CSS hooks then you can easily use the system to make direct requests that just return lists formatted as HTML table-bodies. In other words, the markup IS the markup.
As such, Ive whipped up a Dojo 0.2 Widget that coordinates the serving backend with a UI so anyone can embed f*H functionality anywhere, or easily customize a provided default page.
A file*HANDLER server is really a few constituent parts Ive tied up for you (top down):
- A local web page providing the UI(served by an HTTP server of your choice) that is generated by a cgi script with embedded AJAX.
- A secondary portion of the same CGI script, acting as middle-ware, which communicates, via AJAX, with the local front page to reconcile asynchronous JavaScript requests with the file*HANDLER sub-network back-end.
- An always-on network server written in PERL that serves to the front and end communicates laterally with everyone elses file*HANDLER back-end PERL server additionally, it manages indexing of content directories you choose to serve.
- A PostgreSQL database that is accessed only via internal PERL routines called from your front page.
So for example, a remote user comes to your site. First, not only can they browse and search your files, but they can also browse and search the files of anyone else hosting a file*HANDLER server that your local server knows about. (file*HANDLER identifies other servers on the network automatically). The user can now read/view/listen/watch by stream any content they find from whomevers server. Theres no download, so theres so actual sharing, just direct streaming to the users browser.

Real-Time Proactive Secret Sharing Library is an implementation of the Shamirs secret sharing scheme and Herzbergs proactive secret sharing algorithm.

Real-Time Proactive Secret Sharing Library targets the RTAI OS. It includes a port of GNU GMP to RTAI, which is used for multiple precision arithmetic operations.

to run the rt-pss

./start_pss ID (*) ID should be between 0 and PSSW_NUMBER_OF_MACHINES-1(this constant is defined in src/share_app_pssw.h)
(*) each local RT-PSS should be executed with a
different ID starting with 0
(*) you must have superuser privilegies to do that.

to stop the rt-pss


./stop_pss (*) be sure that no applications that uses the RT-PSS are
running.
(*) you must have superuser privilegies to do that.

developing RT-PSS Apps

There is a demo application available in the directory: examples/GetShare. The RT-PSS API can be consulted in the file README.API

Hybrid Share is a User Friendly Application for Linux, Mac and Windows users, that allow you to Share file (and Talk) instantly with your friends...

What is Hybrid Share ?

Hybrid Share is a simple (User Friendly) Mono C#/Gtk# Application that allow Mac, Windows and Linux Users To Share Files. The Application is extensible via Plugins, so you can Talk with connected people, check your mailbox or other things that plugins could do.

What do you use if you have to share files with your friends ?

E-Mail or Instant Messaging are the first possible solution, but the E-Mail Size block and the slowing of the IM make this channels bad to share files. The NFS (Network File System) or other system like this, works only between similar system or are a little bit difficoult to configure, the same for ftp server.

So The Solution is Hybrid Share that is Portable and Easy to Use, It isnt the Best Application in The World, but it does a useful work.

What is the Difference with a Normal P2P ?

Hybrid Share has a core of P2P but is more like a traditional IM (Instant Messenger), like GTalk, MSN, Gaim, Adium and so on.... No Network Configuration is needed, Youve only to add your "buddies" (like an IM) and Drag File Into their folders...

NapShare project is a fully automated, multi network P2P client made to run 24/7 unattended.

Searching and automatic downloading happen without any user intervention. You supply a list of keywords and filters for the file types you want and it downloads overnight, automatically, also sharing whatever it gets. The automated "brain" tries to simulate searching and downloading like a human would.

Take a nap while it does the work!

Its a complete P2P client, with all the features. It connects to the Key Network and also interoperates with MUTE Network clients. It protects privacy by using a Virtual IP address and other software features.

Written using wxWindows/wxWidgets for multi-platform versions.

JVending project bridges P2P networks and wireless delivery of content to mobile devices. Due to high latency of wireless connections, it is not practical to directly hook up the mobile devices to the peer network, so I have taken a different approach with JVending.

A user sets up a personal provisioning server on their PC and hooks it into the network. Through the P2P network, we create a federation of provisioning servers. The mobile devices use the federated provisioning servers as content portals.

JVending differs from P2P systems, such as Gnutella or "Project JXTA" reference implementation, in the following ways. JVending provides:

1. Catalog management
2. Device detection, which delivers the appropriate content based upon the type of browser or device
3. Web based browsing of content, so you can share with your friends on a wired or wireless network, after you have already collected the content.
4. The ability to search for and distribute packaged archives on the peer network.
5. Web links tying together the network.
6. PPG integration for pushing content to mobile devices.

For 2005 - 2006, the major goals of JVending (roughly in order of importance) are:

1. Expanding P2P support, including more in the area of wireless messaging (SMS)
2. JSR-124 compliance
3. Performance testing and monitoring capability
4. Multimedia server and J2ME support. This covers full integration between the MMS Client and the provisioning server.

Setting up the Environment

Follow these steps:

1. Make sure that you have J2SE 1.4.2 JDK installed. If not, go to http://java.sun.com/j2se/1.4.2/download.html and download and install the JDK (not JRE). I have not tested with J2SE 1.5 JDK, so it may or may not work with that version.
2. Download the jvending-standalone.zip file from the JVending project site.
3. Unzip the file into a directory of your choice, say /jvending
4. Set the JAVA_HOME environmental variable, depending on your OS. In windows, you can do this through the Control Panel/System/Advanced/Environmental Variable: JAVA_HOME =
EXAMPLE: JAVA_HOME=c:Programsj2sdk1.4.2_06

Starting JVending

1. Go to the bin directory and click on the run.bat (for windows) or run.sh for Unix.
2. The first time you start JVending, you will see a JXTA Configurator screen show up. Type in your user name and password/verify password. Click OK.
3. Wait 10 seconds for JVending to finish its startup sequence and then go to http://localhost:80/jvending/login. If you get a 404 error, wait a few more seconds and try again. Login ID/Password: admin/admin. Click "Submit Query" button. You will now see the JVending home page.
