How to download files using OFF (Owner Free File System) P2P?


I am testing P2P apps. I have downloaded OFF (Owner free Filesystem) P2P from the below link:

http://sourceforge.net/projects/offsystem/files/OFF%20System/

But I am unable to download any files using this client. I am not getting error messages even. I have referred following link also.

Please suggest some ideas if any of you used this OFF system.


Solution

  • From what I recall, the program ships with a list of bootstrap nodes. Chances are as active development ceased (at least as far as I am aware) many years ago that none of the bootstrap nodes are online.

    I doubt that you will be able to get the network to function as there are unlikely to be any other nodes still running.

    If you were to set-up a cluster of VM's running the software, it should be possible to set a bootstrap node in the config somewhere, once it has a connection, it will retrieve a list of other nodes that it can connect to.
