The 117th most popular file sharer on Windows
… More EditOneSwarm is a privacy preserving P2P client developed at the University of Washington. Although backwards compatible with BitTorrent, it also includes new features designed to protect user privacy when sharing data among friends, so-called friend-to-friend sharing. Features include search, permissions, and a web UI with streaming, realtime transcoding, and remote access. To provide privacy, OneSwarm uses source-address rewriting with multi-path and multi-source downloading.

A user allowed file sharing system based on the bit torrent protocol and built on azureus 2.5.0.4 (the last decent version of azureus imho) This creates a very user friendly way for you to both allow trusted friends access to files you don't want to share with the public as well as allow you a means to upload torrents as well to the public under greater anonynimity. So far very stable on both XP and Vista, Linux has had a few bugs, but hasn't crashed. So far I'm very pleased to find something that bridges the gap between bit torrent and the much missed allpeers.
Works just fine with my home pc. Speed and privacy is pretty good. Uses bittorrent technology so the more the people the faster the transfer. doesnt work from my work pc tho.. may be corporate firewall.
I have been testing this out, and there is something you need to know about it:
If Azureus never ran that well on your computer, don't bother trying this, because it won't run any better. It's built on top of an older version of Azureus.
You don't want to share a lot of files on this. Sharing over 3000 files & folders would be the same as seeding over 3000 torrents in Azureus 3.0.5.0.
