MUTE - Definition and Overview

The MUTE Network, MUTE_net for short, is a peer-to-peer and friend-to-friend file sharing network developed with anonymity in mind. The MUTE client is open source software released under the GNU General Public License and includes support for the Linux, Mac OS X and Microsoft Windows computer operating systems.

Unlike the relatively popular Freenet anonymous P2P network, Mute has built in search functionality similar to classical peer-to-peer applications.

History of MUTE

MUTE was developed by Jason Rohrer using an ant-like algorithm.
