is an anonymous, distributed, file transfer system designed for people with permanent Internet connections like DSL lines and cable modems.
Blocks allows you to anonymously upload and download files from and to its server, transferring all files in small 64Kb blocks which are routed from server to server rather than from point to point, with content being replicated throughout the network.
IP addresses are not associated with uploads or downloads in any way, and each Blocks application acts as a potential client, server, and caching proxy for data blocks.
The program uses a large disk-bound cache (1 to 64Gb) that is protected by a 128-bit block cipher using a random key based on a strong pseudo random number generator, and the cache is deleted and recreated each time the Blocks server is stopped or started.
All network connections are protected by a 128-bit stream cipher using a session key created from a 512-bit Diffie-Hellman key exchange.
You can easily set up your own separate Blocks network or join a public one; participate in a public Blocks network when you are behind a firewall that stops incoming connections; and perform searches on your local list.
