curler21 Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 http://retroshare.sf.net is a serveless Instant Messenger with Filesharing (bittorrent?) - but how is then a tracker hosted, if there is no server in a serverless ICQ-like System?

Ultima Posted June 26, 2007 Report Share Posted June 26, 2007 BitTorrent isn't the only partially decentralized protocol out there. I see no indications of RetroShare being related to BitTorrent, but in any case, BitTorrent also uses some form of DHT (it's a general term, not only a BitTorrent thing), which doesn't use a centralized server. Quite frankly, the project looks quite uninteresting (to me anyhow).As an aside, I find it despicable that the people who created that website totally ripped another website's original design. There isn't even any way for them to deny it as "coincidence" either (their stylesheet vs the original stylesheet). Meh. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
