    There is a cool new firefox extension. It is called AllPeers. http://www.allpeers.com/ You can share whatever you want between two people. The connection is secure and there is no limit on what you can transfer. I think this will really help when I need to get some stuff off my desktop but am over at college. LOL Hope you guys like it. :D

    LOL yes it is a very new program. I haven't had any trouble with it yet. However I am sure the programers need to make fixes to it. It was only released on August 22. :p

    I thought this was a darknet similar to the one released by the Pirate Party in Sweeden?

    I would prefer an independent certification rather than their opinion. With that aside, this may be an interesting app but I am concern about using a web browser for this type of thing. Seems to me you are re-creating the horrors of ActiveX.

    it is just another flavour from many (skype, yahoo .....)
    users always are being left to be aware - that is what firewall/virus scan are "partly" here for
