Share IT

Share IT is a free and open-source generic peer-to-peer semantic services client written in Java, which integrates support for file sharing, routing and discovery, along with trust administration, using reputation and trust management based on semantic policy.

This way, the application enables you to share files with confidence, knowing that the network connection will not be lost or interrupted.

Java must be installed on the computer in order for this tool to work. It requires Java minimum 1.6 version and, unless it automatically detects it, it asks you to point to its location on the disk.

At startup, it's necessary to choose the peer mode (super peer, edge, light super peer, configure peer or super peer view), as well as to enter a user name.

Predefined file extensions are available for applications (.exe, .jar, .bat, .sh), audio files (.mp3, .wav, .wma), documents (.txt, .doc, .xls, .pdf, .rtf, .ppt), images (.jpg, .bmp, .tiff, .gif, .png, .psd), and video clips (.mpeg, .mp4, .avi, .mov, .3gp, .wmv, .ram, .mpg). However, they can be changed into anything else.

There are two discovery modes, normal and turbo, and the second one puts emphasis on speed rather than in-depth scans.
