ants p2p

Ants p2p is still in the beta fase and needs more users to let the network grow..That's why we started the ants p2p portal for all ants users to share their expierences of using ants p2p.We have support in german,dutch and in the english language.So join the portal en help to make ants p2p a better programm.

Hi Shredder and welcome to this corner of cyberspace...

You have set up a nice and informative site, well done.

Both ANts and MUTE are very interesting anonymizer projects. Unlike Freenet they are clearly file sharing oriented designs, geared to work as both practical and safe sharing platforms.

I like the organic routing idea being applied:

The routing protocol has been developed over studies on ants behaviour... ants do not know the precise location of their hive, they simply follow a track... the same happends in this system. So the more messages follow a track the more that track will be "strong", if a track produces many failures it'll fade out and it won't be followed anymore.

Both ANts and MUTE use point-to-point encryption to protect direct peer-to-peer communications (over Internet) from outside snooping (by your ISP, your government etc.). In addition, ANts supports endpoint-to-endpoint encryption, which means that also virtual (=indirectly connected and IP-numberless) peers can have their mutual communications shielded from other peers in the network.

Don't expect to find a lot of content from these networks yet - they are still young and small. Think of them rather as places where you can share your favorite stuff anonymously without having to worry about the bad guys.

You can download ANts from here and MUTE from here.

~Welcome~ shredder - sounds kewl

and with the TG seal of approval.....i might *gulp* come out of hiding and give it a whirl

[goldie]

after sorting through the nat/wall blah-blahs, things are pretty smooth.

any other of you guys gonna try this? TG's right though, it's pretty quiet but one can hope it catches on.

right now just watching what effect it has on an already very-active p2p loaded system - am getting bit of a system lag.

no blue screens of death but then again, haven't experienced one of those nasties since i ditched winME - haha




i can't be the only curious one here - nudge-nudge, hint-hint.




edit: it's prolly the hashing that's boggin me down.
