[p2p-hackers] Localhost - A new program that creates an Internet-wide decentralised file index hierarchy.

[tom jacobs]

Hi all,
I've been working on a program, which I call Localhost.

It creates a decentralised file index hierarchy, like a "file system",
which you access through you web browser. There can be many different
versions of each folder in the system, and the default version
displayed is determined by popularity; the default version displayed
is the one with the most users viewing that version. Hopefully it will
evolve into a useful resource, perhaps an archive of Open Source
software, or Creative Commons licenced content. The client is based
off Azureus.

See http://localhost.r8.org for more information.

You can preview the system without downloading anything from that website.
If it looks interesting, you can download the client and help build
the "file system" by adding files.

Tom.
