Private P2P

[Jackhole]

I remember reading a while back that Nullsoft had a program that was like Kazaa but was a private p2p network rather than public. Only people within that network were given access to the shared files. Does this sound familiar?

It's called Waste. There's an unofficial AT Waste group, the forum for it is here.

Is it possible to connect to two private networks with one Waste account? Like I wanna join the AT one and create one for me and my friends, would I be able to pull information/files from both?

 

[DaCurryman]

Are there any screenshots for Waste? I looked at the Waste homepage and couldnt find any.

 

[Jackhole]

What is the Waste homepage anyways?

http://sourceforge.net/projects/waste/ from what i can tell. this seems like a cool project, im gonna let my other computer friends in on it. im also interested on DaCurryman's quesiton.

i don't think you can do that since each account needs a key. i tried putting a shortcut to another partition in my shared waste folder and when someone tried to look in it, they just downloaded the shortcut itself.

Maybe I don't quite understand your question, but why not just join both networks?

anyone wanna help me get this set up with me and my friend? i dont understand any of it.

Why don't you just use ICQ/MSN to transfer files?

 

[Jackhole]

Because ICQ/MSN doesn't allow sharing to multiple people.

Edit. Has anyone used this program/set it up? How well does it work? What is the interface like? Can I do searches like in Kazaa and just DL from other people?

 

[Jackhole]

Bump! I got it installed but I can't figure how to get it to work.

It is not that complicated. Yes you can search with it. You need to open up ports on your router. You need to make sure you have the public key for the person you want to connect to and that they have your public key.

Then either you connect using his ip address or he connects using your ip address.

Not sure if this is what you are looking for, but Bitwise http://www.bitwisecommunications.com/chat/ allows sharing of a folder and subfolders..

Ares also supports private p2p... http://www.softgap.com/

I got it up, thanks! I was putting in their usernames rather than their IPs. What do you do it someone has a dynamic IP though?

 

[stringcheeseincident]

i still cant get this mofo to work. ive opened ports 1336-1338 on my router but i still cant even connect to myself, nevermind my friend.
