Despite all the law suits against exchange services like Napster, more and more exchange programs are developped.
Earlier this week EDonkey 2000 was announced and now we have another one brought to our attention:
SockeToome: |
- both retries and resumes transfers
- transmits directly between the sender's and receiver's computers
- involves no central server, preserving your privacy
- works at the sender's convenience as well as at the receiver's
- works between Macs and PCs
- can handle up to four outgoing and three incoming transmissions simultaneously
- is very simple to set up and run
- is particularly suitable where two parties regularly exchange files
- works with both static and dynamic IP addresses
- utilises a priority-based queueing system
- allows messages to be sent with files
- features comprehensive logging
- can be run unattended
- features many queue management facilities
- can be used to back up critical files to a friend's computer
No longer is it necessary:
- to upload to a server for subsequent download, or
- to run a server and notify people when the server is online, or
- to entrust your files to email, or
- for both parties to be at their computers at the same time
Just pop your files into the send queue, and leave SockeToome running. When the other person comes online, SockeToome will transmit the files.
