Announcing FURIAA

[AYB]

Well here you go, some hardcore information on my file sharing app.

First up, it's called furiaa (fury-ah), website http://www.furiaa.com but there's nothing of any relevance there yet.

After your input we've decided to go for both a hybrid client and our own network. The very first release will probably only connect to OpenNap and Gnutella but bear in mind we will have the whole proprietory-to-generic system in place for this which will mean adding a network is easy - expect at least one new network with every major release.

When we've become established we'll begin work on our own network which include features like:

-Encryption
-Anonymity
-Boolean searches
-Partial download sharing

and everything else you'd expect from a decent p2p app nowadays.

The idea is when you're having trouble finding what you want and want to search the maximum possible number of sources you'll connect to as many of the networks as your connection can handle simultaneously. When you want to take advantage of the more advanced features our network offers, you can connect to just that.

twinspan will be happy to hear we have ditched the whole .NET idea after realising the framework is a whopping 20mb. Instead we're going the Java route.

Any input on this is greatly appreciated
