In this little blog we will be going over Dat a p2p way of sharing files, folders, website and things of that nature.
"Ever tried moving large files and folders to other computers? Usually this involves one of a few strategies: being in the same location (usb stick), using a cloud service (Dropbox), or using old but reliable technical tools (rsync). None of these easily store, track, and share your data over time. People often are stuck choosing between security, speed, or ease of use. Dat provides all three by using a state of the art technical foundation and user friendly tools for fast and encrypted file sharing that you control."
This is the introduction to dat documentation, and it's pretty fun to play around with and is a great way to share things p2p. Sharing source files to others to share and edit is easy, straightforward and takes no actual coding knowledge.
Dat also compares themselves to a git in the documentation saying " Cloud services, such as Dropbox or GitHub, force users to store data on places outside of their control. Until now, it has been very difficult to avoid centralized servers without major sacrifices. Dat's unique distributed network allows users to store data where they want. By decentralizing storage, Dat also increases speeds by downloading from many sources at the same time." This is actually exactly what we were looking for not long ago when we were looking to host our large Virtualbox Application that is around 5 gigabytes (That can now easily be downloaded from our dat site) and I think a general great way to share games, images, programs and more p2p.
