Why should I use it
Swapster provides a convenient way to share files with your friends or community.
If you have a collection of any kind, a collection of documents or any collection that you and your friends
are interested in sharing over the Internet then Swapster is the way to go.
Swapster best features are its speed in finding files and allowing you to download them.
How do I get it
Swapster is available in the Download section of this site.
How does the sharing work
When installing Swapster you are asked to identify a directory with more than
4 documents in it. Swapster reads that directory and its sub-directories and identifies
all files of the above types.
It then sends a list of those files to the server so that other Swapster
users can search and find your files. When another user decides they would like to
download your file they download it directly from your computer. Our server does not have your
file.
Do you keep a list of my files
Swapster is very privacy oriented. The only time we have any information about our users
is when they are online and sharing their files. As soon as you log off all information
about you is deleted from our server.
