I was just thinking about WASTE recently in the last 2 weeks since Trump took office.

WASTE was written in Java and was sort of tricky to setup / understand. At one point about 10 years ago, I had a small 8 person "dark net" running with WASTE, shit was so 1337 for its time.

Bit torrent was just making waves around this time and made downloading WAY faster, but was more risky then sharing directly over WASTE.

WASTE was written on entire C++, you can find sources here http://slackerbitch.free.fr/waste/download.html or somewhere here https://sourceforge.net/projects/waste/

Hmmm, maybe I found an "open source" client that was written in Java then. I remember having to mess with JAR files.

What's today's equivalent to WASTE? Especially on a Mac. How do people securely (encrypted) share files between themselves?

Edit: Can't find a mac client/server of WASTE. And some of those download links seem to be down.
