OneSwarm: Privacy preserving peer-to-peer data sharing

A BitTorrent-compatible peer-to-peer application, with privacy preservation features, called OneSwarm, has released version 0.7.5. The code is available on github and uses source address rewriting and SSL encryption to protect the privacy of its users. "OneSwarm is a new peer-to-peer tool that provides users with explicit control over their privacy by letting them determine how data is shared. Instead of sharing data indiscriminately, data shared with OneSwarm can be made public, it can be shared with friends, shared with some friends but not others, and so forth. We call this friend-to-friend (F2F) data sharing."
