free peer to peer file sharing

Since i dont feel like making one myself.. hehe.. is there a free peer to peer file sharing application... just like kazaa or napster but not internet based.. for ur local LAN.. so i can have file sharing with my roommate and neighbors on our LAN.

Re: free peer to peer file sharing

Even simpler would be to set up an FTP server that everyone on your network has access too.

Re: free peer to peer file sharing

yes, but id like the files to be distributed rather than centralized...
imagine you have songs a,b,c,d and i have e,f,g,h
you should be able to login and search for song "g" just like you do on Kazaa.. and then download it from me.

Re: free peer to peer file sharing

You can look into DC++ and related hub software. That's what we used back when I was in the dorms It requires someone to host the hub, but otherwise people can download each other's files. Make sure, of course, that you do so legally... *whistles*
