The giFT project differs from many other similar +projects in that it is a distribution of a standalone platform-independent +daemon, a library for client/frontend development, and our own homegrown +network, OpenFT. + + +The goal of this project is to ensure that user interface developers never waste +time with the low-level details of a protocol and that network programmers never +waste time with the user interface details. Along those same lines it allows end +users to control which protocols they use no matter which giFT interface they +have selected as their favorite. Any new filesharing network can be supported +without any change to the user interface. + +WWW: http://gift.sourceforge.net/ |
