Forumplanet ate my last edition of this so I will keep it short. And yes its crazy complex, but its strong encryption so what are ya gonna do.

WASTE is a secure distributed private filesharing network. You and some friends all get the program and exchange some info and are on your way.

Here are the steps to get up and running:

1. Get the installer

2. Start the install. At certain points of the install you need to generate entropy. Wiggle your mouse all over the place real fast inside the installer window to generate it.

3. Your nickname should be your forum name so we know who's who. You dont have to put your real name if you dont want. Set your connection as needed.

4. LEAVE THE NETWORK ID FIELD BLANK

5. At the next step, click the "Run Key Generation" button. Enter a passphrase. The default keysize should be fine.

6. There is another button called "import public keys". Click it. I will PM you my, and all current users, key upon request. <red>Your request must also include your public key, which you can get by clicking the "copy my public key to clipboard" button</red>. I must add you so you can connect to my IP. You can then broadcast your key so that everyone else can auto add you, then you can connect to everyone else.

7. Set your download directory, and set the directories which you are sharing. You can set multiple directories.

You are done installing. Now for using the program.

8. To connect to a user, go to the Network Status window. Enter the user's IP in the location bar at the top and hit enter. It should connect, but for it to connect both of you MUST have accepted each other's public keys, and port 1337 MUST be open.

9. You have connected to one user. It is better to connect to more than one IP. Choose some IPs from the list below (I will update as more users join in) with the highest connection rates. 3 or 4 IPs should be fine. After connecting go to preferences then private keys and click "broadcast public key".

10. Now for settings. Hit ctrl-p or use your preferred method to get to the preferences window. Go the Network area, ensure the listen and advertise port boxes are checked.

11. The public key window is where you manage your public keys you have recieved from others. Add will open the import public key window. Note there is a text box at the bottom of the import public key window which allows you to easily paste a key there then click "Load key text".

12. This next step is ESSENTIAL. Go to "Pending Keys" and check "rebroadcast key distribution messages" AND "autoaccept public keys"!!

13. Last but not least, you MUST go to the File Transfers section of preferences and check "Try to bring up direct connection for transfers." This ensures fastest speeds.

Other tidbits:
When you add new directories click rescan to index the new files for others to download. Or every so often rescan your existing directories to ensure indexing of your files.

Change your number of connections to maintain (in Network Status window) to 6 or higher.

When PMing me for the keys include your public key, IP, and connection type.

I actually took a look at it for a few seconds.

Looked like an extravagant waste of time. :/

I'll look into it later tonight (I'm off for dinner soon) but be warned: all I have to offer is every episode of Futurama... every episode of Family Guy... every episode of Black Books... every episode of Curb Your Enthusiasm... 30 gigs of music... and the Transformers movie.

Whee!

I'm going to sign up tonight just so I can steal all of Cereal Sam's Family Guy, god damn I love that show. Pretty much all I have to offer is every episode of the Brak Show, a few Space Ghosts and THREE COPIES OF BRITNEY SPEARS - TOXIC. *kicks sister*

How does Waste handle people with fgt dynamic IPs such as myself? I looked around on the site for a bit and found nothing.
