A very similar solution offering this is http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/ http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/
You get decentralized/p2p encrypted VOIP/chat/messaging/file sharing (written in C++).

- Sami_Lehtinen 13y agoRetroShare isn't similar to Freenet at all. Please read design & white papers completely for both projects. What I really like about Freenet & GNUnet is the build in distributed efficient caching of data. So even small sites won't go down when there's a global rush.
- simgidacav 13y agoThis Retroshare btw looks interesting! --- but why on the earth the Fedora installation links me to Open-suse RPMs? :D
- aclevernickname 13y agoRetroshare is currently the best example of Zawinski's Law[1] one could ask for; We needed a p2p/f2f daemon we could run voip/chat/messaging/file sharing on top of. Instead, we're given this bloated hunk of 1998's software design policies that tries to do everything for us, but do all of it poorly.
