RetroShare Freeware Review: One of the Best Free Cross-Platform P2P File Sharing Programs
Here’s another freeware for you – a free P2P file sharing software similar to Limewire and Frostwire. If you have a need for a secure way to share your files with your friends, I suggest you try Retroshare whose download link can be found at http://retroshare.sourceforge.net/index.html. It’s an open source program that surprisingly does cross-platform private file sharing in a decentralized manner (no server needed). Once you install this program, you and your trusted friends can securely chat or share files. RetroShare is also very ideal for co-workers to send and receive sensitive materials without the need to use a Virtual Private Network (VPN).
RetroShare Offers Secured Private File Sharing and Chatting
RetroShare Cross-Platform P2P File Sharing software is one of the best P2P programs out there. It automatically encrypts all connections to your most-trusted friends or colleagues but it doesn’t punish your transfer speed. You will still enjoy speedy file sending and receiving even under OpenSSL Encryption. This program also excels in simultaneous downloads or uploads. As a cross-platform app, you can comfortably share files with your Mac and Linux users without fear of getting your files corrupted while in transit to their computers.
The encryption on this program and the server-less operation means not even your ISP can snoop on your file transfers or chat logs. While I am against the distribution of copyrighted materials, I still feel a person has a right to privacy especially from an ISP – whom we pay money to provide us internet connection and not act as moral guardians.
