Freenet is a peer-to-peer network designed to allow the distribution of information over the Internet in an efficient manner, without fear of censorship. It is completely decentralized (there is no person or computer essential to its operation) ... [More] , meaning that Freenet cannot be attacked like centralized peer-to-peer systems such as Napster. Freenet also employs intelligent routing and caching to learn to route requests more efficiently, automatically mirror popular data, make network flooding almost impossible, and move data to where it is in greatest demand.

Phex is a cross-platform P2P filesharing client which is based on the Gnutella network. It offers advanced functions and integrates all common Gnutella extensions like * the Download Mesh and Partial File Sharing for decentral swarming ... [More] downloads from multiple sources * Dynamic Querying and the Query Routing Protocol for improved search and network performance * UDP Host Caching for better connectivity and many other optimizations.

What's Nicotine? Nicotine is a SoulSeek client written in Python, based on the PySoulSeek project by Alexander Kanavin. It features, among other things, a completely rewritten graphical user interface which uses the PyGTK-2 toolkit and a less strict ... [More] user request policy. What's Nicotine+?

GNUnet is a framework for secure peer-to-peer networking that does not use any centralized or otherwise trusted services. A first service implemented on top of the networking layer allows anonymous censorship-resistant file-sharing. GNUnet uses a ... [More] simple, excess-based economic model to allocate resources. Peers in GNUnet monitor each others behavior with respect to resource usage; peers that contribute to the network are rewarded with better service. [Less]

I2P is an anonymous network, exposing a simple layer that applications can use to anonymously and securely send messages to each other. The network itself is strictly message based (ala IP), but there is a library available to allow reliable ... [More] streaming communication on top of it (ala TCP). All communication is end to end encrypted (in total there are four layers of encryption used when sending a message), and even the end points ("destinations") are cryptographic identifiers (essentially a pair of public keys). [Less]

What is Museek? Museek is a file-sharing application for the Soulseek peer-to-peer network. It is written in C++. When active SVN development ceased for several months, impatience set in, and Museek-Plus was created. Hyriand, the author of ... [More] Museek, is also the author of Nicotine, another Soulseek client. Since Hyriand is again actively developing a rewrite of museekd, so the term 'fork' is getting a little tired. Museek+, an active fork of Museek Museek+ (or Museek-Plus) is an enhanced sourcecode tarball of Museek that is now has Room Searching, Buddy-only shares, Interests. New features in Museeq include the addition of Banlists, Ignorelists, Icon Themes and Font/Color selecting. Other assorted fixes, enhancements, and icons from contributing Museek users are included.
