Description : a peer-to-peer network that protects your privacy
MUTE File Sharing is a new peer-to-peer network that provides easy
search-and-download functionality while also protecting your privacy.
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. MUTE's 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.
