Project Description
BitSmoke is a peer-to-peer private file sharing application.

Project Details
BitSmoke is intended to facilitate sharing files between people who know each other, for example friends, family or co-workers.

In BitSmoke, files are shared to a Group. For example, a User could have a Group of family members with whom they share their holiday photos, and a Group of co-workers with whom they share documents for a meeting.

When a file is shared to a Group, pieces of the file are sent to all Users in the Group, so that if the User who originally shared the file is offline, the file will still be accessible by the Users who are online.

The use of BitSmoke to share illegal or copyrighted material is forbidden.

Project Information
BitSmoke is written in VB.NET

cool but what's the password for the source?

there's no password, where is it asking for one?

Oh I see what you mean - that's not a password for the source, that's just the temporary key I used to sign the assembly so it can have a strong name etc. You don't really need it, just cancel that dialog. You can create your own temporary key if you like, to sign your copy of it.

Looks a cool project. Which p2p model do you use for this application ?
What is its working model ? Is it a Gnutella-like, Freenet-like or other kind ?

Neither really - both Gnutella and Freenet involve downloading files from people you don't know. In BitSmoke you know the people you're sharing files with.
