FileTopia is a free, Windows-based client and networking tool allowing users to organize files, text & voice recordings,
chat , andinstant messages . All communication isencrypted , using ciphers such as AES, Blowfish, and Idea. To protect the users identity, they are able to use a "bouncer", which is essentially a proxy, to keep their IP hidden from the internet. Filetopia also featuresmessage boards and buddy lists. Users can share globally, or in specific channels/chat rooms, or in "Trade Mode". It is not acentralized system , users must connect to multiple servers in order to find each other, but file transfers, etc. are conducted on apeer-to-peer basis.FileTopia development has been halted for the last six years. Originally, the developer was busy creating the TorrentOpia software in the boom of the BitTorrent era - but with promises of future versions "in the coming months" since 2003-2004 within popular FileTopia chatrooms, it has been assumed that a new version of the software is unlikely. However, even with the ageing current FileTopia version (3.04), there is still a small, but vibrant community of people sharing a wealth of data.
