Tortuga
A Fully Decentralized Peer-to-Peer Network
Disclaimer:
Tortuga is P2P software, similar to a torrent client, which downloads and uploads files. The developer takes no responsibility whatsoever for the content shared within the P2P network. Please be aware of the potential security issues when running experimental network software that is reachable from the outside. Depending on your local legislation, there may be legal implications, as every client in the network also acts like a torrent tracker.
