FriendNet

Self-hostable, mini-Soulseek-style file sharing network for small groups of friends.

Desktopfree

FriendNet is a self-hostable file sharing system modeled on Soulseek, aimed at small private groups rather than the public. A self-hosted central server handles file search and peer discovery while downloads happen peer-to-peer, with optional proxied downloads for users who can't open router ports or are behind restrictive firewalls and VPNs. It's built for friends who want an easy, private file-sharing network.
