Localhost

LocalHost. Very interesting Java based Open Source online file sharing application which combines a kind of wiki-like group access and editing facilty with the BitTorrent engine. What’s really funky is that the more popular a file or folder is, the more accessible it is. Still under heavy development by the looks of it (needs a nicer UI) so don’t cuss about the access speeds. Neat and definitely worth a download. [Thanks Tom]

 You can change any folder (including the root folder) by adding files and/or folders to it. When you make changes to a folder, a new version of it is created. This results in each folder in the file system having any number of alternate versions. Each user can view any version of each folder. The default version of a folder displayed to users is the most popular version, where the popularity of a version is determined by the number of users that have chosen to view that version.
