Myster is a file sharing utility. Similar projects include Kazaa, Hotline and Gnutella. Myster allows you to share your files with others and download files being shared by others on the Myster network, over the Internet. But Myster isn't just any file sharing utility.
The Myster protocol and application have been developed in response to a cry for a peer-to-peer file sharing system which efficiently operates without the need for a central logistics server. By answering that cry, Myster employs a completely new, unique and opensource distributed networking protocol which builds on the best features of past P2P efforts, raising the bar for distributed file sharing over the internet.
Some key features of Myster include:
- A completely distributed framework of peers, eliminating any need for a central server
- The ability to search the network without "flooding" it with requests for information.
- Support for multiple types of data, not just MP3s
- A realtime, self-organizing and self-optimizing network
- A user friendly interface
- Works on multiple platforms: Windows, Mac OS X, Mac OS, Linux, Solaris, others
- fully Java 1.1 compatible
