What is it?
NapShare is a fully automated, multi network P2P client made
to run 24/7 unattended.
Searching and automatic downloading happen without any user
intervention. You supply a list of keywords and filters for the file
types you want and it downloads overnight, automatically, also
sharing whatever it gets. The automated "brain" tries to simulate
searching and downloading like a human would.
Take a nap while it does the work!
It's a complete P2P client, with all the features. It connects to the
Key Network and also interoperates with MUTE Network clients. It protects
privacy by using a Virtual IP address and other software features.
Written using wxWindows/wxWidgets for multi-platform versions.
Download - Linux, Windows, others, click here to download.
Check out the screenshots.

NapNews is a companion program for NapShare. It's a fully
automated news group file capture program for USENET (NNTP). It's
made to run 24/7 unattended. (now unsupported, but reports of it
still working come in)
Downloads MP3,JPG,MPG and more! No waiting for connections!
It's a nice companion for any P2P client to help get fresh content to the
network. It's compatible with any Gnutella client, and will help
obtain a steady stream of new content to share with others. Supply
a list of news groups to download from and it does all the work. Set
up is easy. It can handle multi part download reconstruction, mime and
uudecoding. You can limit how long it works on a group, make it start
and stop automatically, configure for each group differently and more!

Privacy and P2P Network FAQ
Why do people want their privacy protected?
"Protections for anonymous speech are vital to democratic discourse. Allowing dissenters to shield their
identities frees them to express critical, minority views . . . Anonymity is a shield from the tyranny of the
majority. . . . It thus exemplifies the purpose behind the Bill of Rights, and of the First Amendment in
particular: to protect unpopular individuals from retaliation . . . at the hand of an intolerant society."
"Many people don't want the things they say online to be connected with their offline identities. They may be concerned about political or economic retribution, harassment, or even threats to their lives."
